Recruiters sing the blues, blame "parental advice"

From the Houston Chronicle:

Army officials on Tuesday blamed negative news coverage of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, a prospering economy and parental advice as key reasons why the service won't reach its 2005 recruitment targets.
The chief obstacle recruiters are facing comes from "older advisers to young Americans," Chu said, including parents whose views on military service were shaped by the Vietnam War.

Kids taking advice from their elders? The world as we know it has ended! 'Bout fuckin' time!
