Use a paintball gun, go to war. It's the law.
Newsweek is reporting that army recruiters are trolling paintball tournaments looking for new soldiers. At a recent event in Coram, NY an army recruiter stocked a tent with "Army of One" key chains, coffee mugs, footballs, baseball caps, T shirts and customized dog tags.
With over 300 participants decked out in camo and combat boots, it was only a matter of time before the booth was overrun with teenage guys handing over their names and email addresses in exchange for the goods. The recruiter's comment was, "This is our target audience." No pun intended. (I'm guessing next they'll hit the video game arcades looking for recruits of the future.)
So if you're planning on competing in a paintball event - and according to Newsweek's article a surprising 10.4 million of you are, more than play baseball, surf or snowboard - watch your flank. You could be getting scouted for the real thing.
