kids you like violence??
http://www.pointblank-dm.com/archive...05/cover.shtml
In an effort to increase its ranks for coming wars, the U.S. military is recruiting - and paying - children as young as 14 years old for future combat duty. Carla Bloomer agrees with Tom that poor children have few options, but rankles at the suggestion that selling military service to a child is an answer to the problem. And she didn't even know this was an issue until she learned a recruiter had talked to her 14-year-old son and convinced him to sign up. "He's not smart enough to make a decision like that at this point in his life," she says. "That recruiter came in and played to his teenager's sense of invincibility and know-it-all attitude and convinced him this was the best thing for him to do. In the end, I had to give in and let him sign up." hurc ast |

Fourteen year olds cannot enter into a contract with the government,
or with anyone else. Get a life and spew your ridiculous garbage somewhere else. -------------= Posted from Ugroups.com =------------- ---= Fast & Free Web Portal to Usenet Newsgroups =--- -------------= http://www.ugroups.com/ =------------- |

I don't know what's more pathetic . . . the fact that someone took the time to write up this complete load of crap or that someone -- anyone -- believes it. - Max - ======= Would you believe this man has gone as far as tearing Dubya stickers off the bumpers of cars, and he voted for John F. Kerry for President? http://hometown.aol.com/maxx2112/ Just Say No to 6:5 Blackjack! http://www.cafepress.com/justsaynoto6to5/ |
