Guzzle-worthy News Flash

How can the US armed forces attract new blood in an age when recruits are fewer and farther between?

Forget about money for college, debt forgiveness, the appeal of travel, or the awesome uniforms. What recruitment officers should really be advertising is the, apparently, sweet-ass retirement set-up they offer veterans. After only 20 years of faithful service (if you’re over 60 years old) you can putter around the halls in style with your old war buddies, throw 6 quarters into the old beer machine and enjoy a cold and extra fizzy one. Where do I sign up?
