But here&#8217;s the intersting part of the article;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Pepin&#8217;s client allegedly told agents that she wanted to use her American military training from the U.S. Army Explorers to start a holy war overseas, even though she knew that it was illegal. Her &#8220;legitimate targets of attack&#8221; included military facilities, government employees and public officials, federal court records say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t know what US Army Explorers are either, so <a href=\"http:\/\/www.armyexplorers.us\/\">I looked it up<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The United States Army Explorers (USAE) is a registered not for profit youth career exploration program for teens both Males, and females ages 13-20. Our Program exposes cadets to what career opportunities in the military are like, and provide them first hand knowledge and experience in the many military occupational skills. We are the fastest growing army cadet program in the country<\/p>\n<p>Our program is a part of the Learning for Life Explorer program with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), with strong links to the US Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard, and State Guard Forces. However, our adults and explorers are not members of the armed forces by virtue of their membership in the United States Army Explorers. All of our staff members are non-paid professionals who bring a rich and varied background to the program.<\/p>\n<p>Army Explorer cadets receive similar training to that which regular soldiers receive. Army Explorers participate in the regular Army Physical Fitness training and testing, Drill &#038; Ceremony, Military Customs and Courtesies, CPR and First Aid, Land Navigation, Radio Communications, Aviation, Leadership, Marksmanship, Search and Rescue, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training, Field Exercises, and much more! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So she figured that her expertise in Drill &#038; Ceremony would really help out with jihad, huh? Well, good for her. But she&#8217;s probably better trained than many of the phonies we&#8217;ve had lately.
