HERE’S WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF IT.

Veterans and active troops love recruiting ads, but they aren’t who recruiting
ads are for. So we asked some high schoolers what they thought about the newest

Task & Purpose was founded in 2014 as a voice for the military community, and
continues to serve that community with accurate reporting and great storytelling
to this day.

Our journalists have reported on the front lines of the Standing Rock protests
in North Dakota and the war in Afghanistan. We’ve uncovered American veterans
being abused in Kuwaiti prisons, deported veterans being forced to work for
Mexican cartels, and drawn national attention to a longstanding legal rule
barring service members from suing the government — even in the face of gross
negligence.
