Reality: Flipping burgers for $8/hr. until you get promoted to assistant manager and start flipping burgers for $9.50/hr.

Military recruiter: "Sign up! See the world! Great educational opportunities! Specialized training you can use when your two years are up!"
Reality: You're lying on the sand bleeding out through a gaping hole in your torso, and the last thing you hear is a band of ISIS fighters celebrating your death

The promises made by the recruiters aren't too different, really, and neither one is entirely honest, but one of those two recruiters knows that there are even odds your career ends with a bang, and the other one just wants a warm body working the microwave until Dollar General comes along to snap up those managerial skills for $9.60 an hour.

Hyperbole FTW!

BTW, did you know that the deaths per 100,00 for the military is lower than several blue collar occupations in America? And I would say that it's probably more dangerous to flip burgers on the Southside of Chicago than it is to do a 4 year hitch in the Air Force.
