Rape in the Army1 in 4 WomenOther than being frequently raped and sexually assaulted by superiors and fellow soldiers, women in the Army are treated exactly the same as men, and given the same responsibilities and opportunities.
Army WomenNobody to Turn ToIn the Army, you will learn to have the strength to solve your own problems independently. For example, if you're raped or sexually assaulted, the Army will provide no support or justice for you, and will even try to punish you for bringing it up.
Army Job Skills:TortureTorturing prisoners isn't just the Army way, it's a valuable skill for future civilian careers.
Abu GrahibFun With TortureSee how the Army has helped deal with those boring desert nights. When the lights go off, the party begins. In the army, you too can get in on the action! Just make sure your skin isn't brown and your name doesn't have an "al'" in it if you know what I mean.
Army DisciplineSoldiers Beat ChildrenNo threat is too small for soldiers to contain. In the US Army, you will learn how to use violence to terrorize civilians into obedience.

Army ConductCultural InsensitivityIn the Army, we're accepting of religious and cultural differences. No matter if you're Baptist or Lutheran, we all believe that Allah sucks and so does your motherfucking Koran.
Army Work EthicPerpetual Combat DutyIn the Army, the job's not done until the politicians say it is. Soldiers are assigned to dangerous, high stress jobs with little to no down time. And our stop-loss policy guarantees that we can keep them there months or even years after their contracts expire.
Army TacticsKillling Injured CiviliansIn the Army, you will have mind-shattering combat experiences. If you don't eventually enjoy murdering unarmed people, rest assured that someone in your unit will.
FallujahA WastelandSee how the Army helps to spread prosperity and good-will around the world. As a soldier, you will have an unforgettable impact on people's lives wherever you go.
Fallujah WarcrimesBombing CiviliansIn the Army, keeping civilians out of the street is critical. While you may not be the one who drops bombs on crowds, your service is essential to making it happen.

Post-Traumatic Stress DisorderWhen it's Over, the War in Your Head BeginsTroops experience unspeakable traumas that they will re-live for the rest of their lives, sometimes in terrifying flashbacks. The Army provides insufficient and ineffective counseling to the huge number of veterans who experience PTSD.
Once We're Done With You It's Your ProblemPart 1Soldiers learn the value of independence, especially once they're discharged and find that there's little or no help available for disabilities or injuries they suffered in the service.
Once We're Done With You It's Your ProblemPart 2"They take them. They emotionally destroy them. And then they throw them back into society and say 'Ok, you're on your own'"
Depleted UraniumPoisoning SoldiersThe US Army employs the very latest in radioactive weaponry. This results in long term radiation damage and permanent disability among soldiers and civilians alike, but it's a small price to pay for the success of the mission.
Relax, It's Just a Little Pin Prick. That'll Keep You Going Through The Show...Join the ReserveFight "Al Qaida"I wanted the chance for a better education, and I wanted to defend my country form Al-Qaida. But then the President sent us to Iraq, without enough troops and no body armor...
Army RecruitmentTargeting Latino YouthThe US Army especially values Latino soldiers. If you are a poor Latino youth, we will promise you anything if you enlist, including citizenship, reversing deportations, and other blatant lies.
Dishonest RecruitingCaught on TapeThe Army wants YOU! In fact, we want you so bad that we'll get you to lie about pretty much anything to qualify for service.
Recruiting College Students"High Quality Youths"Some say military recruitment is just another business, that recruiters are no more honest than used car salesmen. They're right, except that you don't have to risk your life in an illegal war if you get duped by a car salesman.
Recruitment StandardsMental IllnessThe Army believes everyone should have the chance to serve their country. Problems like depression, bi-polar disorder, or other conditions which will be exacerbated by the extreme trauma of combat shouldn't stop you from enlisting.
Recruitment PromisesBending the TruthWhatever your interests, there's a job in the Army doing it. Of course, unless your interest is "being cannon fodder in the desert", it's unlikely you'll actually get the job you're promised after you sign up.
Recruitment StandardsRespiratory ProblemsIn the Army, you'll learn to push your limits and attempt things you never thought possible, like trying to survive with improper medical care because a recruiter pressured you to lie about your medical problems when you enlisted.
Army ImageHip Hop MarketingThe Army knows how much you kids like that rap music, and we'll give you as many rides in tricked-out Hummers as it takes to get you to enlist.
Army ValuesAmerican FacismAs a soldier in the US Army, you'll do what you're told without asking any questions. Our job is to loyally obey those in power, regardless of whether they support the interests of the United States and its citizens.
Army ValuesImperialismIn the Army, you will be part of the proud American tradition of violently interfering in foreign governments to protect US economic interests. The civilian casualties may be high, but that's the price we pay to protect American pocketbooks.
Imperialism in IraqWhy We're Really At WarPoliticians and civilians may talk a lot about the justification for going to war, but the Army doesn't really care. As a soldier, you will go to war when the President orders it, no matter how insane the justification may be.
US Drug SmugglingNATO's Illegal War Against SerbiaCivilian deaths are a part of war, but that's never stopped the US Army from participating in bloody, illegal conflicts for the sake of politicians' reputations.
