That's right, because Google can only lead you to the blogs of 15 year olds or people have no no experience in the real world. Puhleeze.

Or how about this: In the mall about 4 months ago I came across a conversation between one my my little brother's friends and an Army recruitment officer. I stopped and listened. He lied. I've come to find out that CURRENT MILITARY OFFICERS are coming forward to confirm that what I saw is not an isolated incident. My best friend was lied to by his Navy recruiter. He had to get correct information from me, someone who's never been in the Navy.
Go figure.

The "it didn't happen to me thus it didn't happen" argument is the worst kind of fallacy. Maybe you can call up your recruiter buddies and ask them how many explain the stop-loss program to their recruits.
