No child EVER needs to be abused, whether or not their parents have alcohol or drug problems, or they are angry. Children are not born in this world to be treated that way, at all, ever.

Answer by Drill Kill
Military recruiters tour the country selling a dangerous product with glamorous ads, just like tobacco companies or drug pushers. The ads promise opportunity and adventure — but don’t believe the hype.
