Yeah, some recruiters are pretty stupid, not even going to lie about that one. But to be frank, army recruiters have always been that way.

Without reading the story, I know that its about Sgt. Akbar. He didn't join the Army to do harm to it. Instead, he was upset about what the Army was doing in muslim countries and decided to take action.

Do you all think this has ever happen ? It would be horrible if it happen in the airforce because they have a plane.

It takes a lot more than just joining the air force to become a pilot
