As I recall, the consequences of those crap classes and wasted time was not a trip to a war zone.

Recruiters have no business lying or making promises they can't keep. The last thing we need is to foster the notion that military recruitment is about tricking you into serving. That will only make the military a less attractive option. No one in my family joined the military without a talk from one of the combat vets or lifers to counterpoint the overly enthusiastic and optimistic sales pitch of the recruiters.
