Flawed reasoning as always...

1) You mentioned 4 podiatrists. I know more than that that are doing very well.
2) Who cares what 20/20 says? I saw that orthopods did surgery on the wrong limb. Are they a hoax, too? What authority does 20/20 have?
3) Schools have recruiters because of doom and gloomers like you.
4) The US Armed force is NOT a volunteer force. You get PAID.
5) Insurance companies are in the business of making MONEY. If they don't think you can help them make money then you ruin it for the rest of the DPM's.
6) Why don't you ask schools to talk about the "real deal"?

If you feel so negative about podiatry then why not do something about it? I notice that you are still in practice, according to the APMA (yes, I know who you are). If it's so bad then why don't you leave and "expose" podiatry for what you say it is and help us out instead of making such negative comments? Or is it not really that bad? You're a voting member of the APMA -- if it's so bad then vote us out of history.
