I’ll tell you, this is the stupidest video ever created. Mostly, it’s about military recruiting through the use of the Junior ROTC program. <\/p>\n
The intro on the YouTube video reads;<\/p>\n
14-year-olds are recruited into the Army through the JROTC with the hopes of college money and a career. But when our soldiers come back from war, they face a back-logged Veterans Affairs Department, and can’t get the health care and other help they need. This documentary take a look at the U.S. war machine through the eyes of Veterans and JROTC cadets. It also looks at how veterans of past wars are forced to compete for services with veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\nSo the military is recruiting 14-year-olds now? Just like Nazi Germany in the final months, I suppose. I’m pretty sure the military is only recruiting 18-year-olds. But let’s look at all of the pretzel logic you have to believe before you can believe that recruiters are evil. <\/p>\nOne expert they interview is a homeless “veteran” who advises youngsters that his service didn’t advance his own goals in life – on Veterans Day he “earned” only about $15 from panhandling. “They don’t care if you’re a veteran”, he tells the interviewer. <\/p>\nSince most of us veterans are homeless panhandlers, we can probably give youngsters the same advice. He does make the point that cops do give him a break when they’re clearing the streets of hobos, though – so you see, there’s a veteran benefit right there.<\/p>\nAnother group of “experts” are the IVAW members who testified at Winter Soldier II that socialized healthcare provided by the military and the VA sucks – their solution is to throw more money at it, of course. Yet the entire Left thinks the answer to our national “healthcare crisis” is to force the system on the entire country. I’ll never be able to figure that one out.<\/p>\nAnother interviewee, a high school-aged student described how recruiters “pressured” him by offering him job opportunities. Since he didn’t join, I guess they couldn’t have pressured him too much. <\/p>\nA teacher makes the claim that recruiters offer illegal green cards to “undocumented” students. Now, why would they do that? I mean, honestly. Why would a careerist jeopardize his future by offering a youngster, a youngster who has already broken faith by illegally occupying a space in a classroom funded by taxpayers, an illegal document just to make numbers for a month? <\/p>\nOther experts they interview are young teenagers who seem eager to advance their lives through the benefits the military offer inner city kids. The youngsters also seem anxious to defend their country, and they have unrealistic expectations of the glory of going to war. How uncharacteristic of teenagers to not understand the gravity of war. <\/p>\nThey also show a clip of Phil Donahue, the king of sleazy television, advocating for the stream of flag draped coffins across out TV screens nightly. The same guy who an hour interviewing a former guy who went through a sex change operation only to discover he was a lesbian. Yeah, he knows what makes good TV.<\/p>\nSeein’s how, by the video’s producers’ own admission, only 30-50% of JROTC students go on to join the military, I guess the military isn’t doing a good job of brainwashing and arm-twisting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I’ll tell you, this is the stupidest video ever created.
