The US Army and civilian job boards

I know this probably doesn't bother anyone else, but it drives me batty. I'll be reading over some job board, like Monster or Career Builder, and then of the 20 jobs they send me that are of "interest to me", 80 percent of them are Army National Guard jobs. Instead of just placing ONE AD that states the Army National Guard is hiring, they list EVERY FREAKING MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY IN THE ARMY as an open job, so that these job boards spam the hell out of you with Army National Guard jobs that have the exact same contact information. It makes job boards completely useless. There aren't 30 different businesses hiring in this context; there is ONE government military hiring and stealing 30 spots of ads that disappear on the boards themselves because these recruiters have become experts at product placement. Spam is still spam, even if our government does it. Doesn't really change a thing.
