Spoken like a true politician, albeit one with a military background, who knows that the wrong choice of words can cause as much damage as a poorly executed battle plan...

Star is the U.S. Army's newest recruiter--a camo-wearing avatar at GoArmy.com who answers questions IM-style. He's straightforward: Ask "Will I go to Iraq?" and he'll say it's "likely." If he's stumped, Star will direct you to a live recruiter, who is waiting to chat...
