The Army has a problem with aiming their advertisements at people with poor academic records, so if they're lacking quality minds then they need to rethink their marketing, because I saw a poster in Manchester aimed directly at 16/17yr olds who had recently sat their GCSE's and I thought it was very decieving the way they were focussing their campaign on the wages rather than the job at hand.

The only people from school who joined the army where chavs who failed their GCSE's, and thats because they are the ones who are targetted. Most of them WOULD have asbo's now if they hadn't gone into the Army, so I dont doubt it would be a benefit to send those with Asbo's into the Army, but it will only repel the intelligent people further away.

I'm not saying there aren't intelligent chavs, I study with one, but the majority are too heavily influenced by the idiots who think its 'cool' to not try hard at school and cause people problems.
