1. Be... all that you can be...

How much TAX money is going to pay for this hoopla?

(Here's something; The French Foreign Legion has highly trained soldiers with mad skillz. They don't advertise.)

2. I would point out that the military doesn't fight for

freedom of any kind, especially not speech. They fight for empire and glory.

3. This is insane. Military recruiters come to a *High School* three times a year . . .

The overwhelming majority of students are going to be too young to enlist without parental approval.

I went to about 4 high schools (admittedly quite a few years ago) and the military never recruited on campus. When did this bullshit start?

5. it is part of 'no child left behind'

http://www.leavemychildalone.org/ has a lot of information.

Did you know...

... that the notorious No Child Left Behind Act includes a sneaky section that requires high schools to turn over private information on students to military recruiters?

And that the Pentagon has created an illegal database of 30 million 16-25 year-olds, including names, addresses, email addresses, cell phone numbers, ethnicities, social security numbers, extracurricular activities, and areas of study?

They've taken, and ruined (one is permanently disabled), 3 of my nephews. They will not have my son.
