So was the student trying to make a point, or get to the point of a question? Because trying to make a point against a recruiter for a little sound byte on soundcloud is bullshit and contributes nothing, while phrasing your question in a way that maximizes the sense of confrontation or personal assault is an excellent way to ensure you don't get your question answered.

They aren't going to answer questions because they are indoctrinated cowards who work as NSA shills and they would be fired. The best you could hope for here is to kill the bullshit they are spraying and kill any hope of them gaining any benefit from a recruitment seminar.

It is a fact that the NSA leaders are lying criminals who have violated the laws of the land.
