Hoo ra

A high school journalist "wanted to see how far the Army would go" in recruitment, so he posed as a high school dropout with a marijuana problem. He got the recruiter to go so far as to go to a head shop with him to get a "detox kit" that would help him pass drug tests. The recruiter also said his lack of a high school diploma was no problem, suggesting he simply get a mail-order diploma. When the shit hit the fan, the two recruiters he dealt with were suspended, and the Army stopped all recruiting operations for a day while it did some retraining.

Now that's the kind of initiative that made America great.
