In an article posted today on the “We Are Not Your Soldiers<\/a>” website, Matthis brags about how he converted some students to his anti-recruiter campaign in Manhattan earlier;<\/p>\n

Matthis, explained that recruiters will prey on the youth, as young as it takes to get them interested in joining the \u201cdelayed entry program\u201d so that by the time they graduate high school, they are taken off to basic training. At basic training young children are taught tactics to de-humanize the \u201cenemy\u201d, who, at this point in history, are the Muslim population around the world.<\/p>\n

The students were fascinated by the discussion, and many had decided to wear the \u201cWe Are not Your Soldiers\u201d bandanas, and to confront the recruiters when they approach them. They also decided to form a student group that will plan to keep recruiters out of the school, and away from their friends. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Talk about instilling irrational fears. It’s not like the military kidnaps children off the street. Or drive a paddy wagon up to the high school graduation ceremonies and force the newly-minted graduates off to far-away basic training centers. <\/p>\n

I never saw “young children” when I was at basic training. I saw young men – probably because old men make poor soldiers. The military doesn’t want you if you don’t want to be there. And I’d like to know how we were “taught tactics to dehumanize the enemy”.<\/p>\n

My impression is that this program lies a damn sight more than any recruiting battalion ever could lie.<\/p>\n
