Bill creates detention camps in U.S. for 'emergencies'

The proposed bill, which has received little mainstream media attention, appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany.

Sometimes it's a conspiracy...sometimes not so much

Recently read about how high schools give the names of students to military recruiters. Oh, no shit, what a shock. Anyway, I felt the need to leave a comment. Here is a link to the article, and here is a copy of my comment.

Emmett says:

One reason they give the information to recruiters? Schools receive federal money. Same thing for colleges. Any college that receives federal funding has to allow them access to the campus. Private schools have the option to refuse. Just thought you would like to know. Of course most schools give their students credit for being able to make their own decisions, they also give the name to colleges trying to suck their parents money as well. It's just more advertising. Get over it! Not interested. Don't sign up. I can't speak for all recruiters past/present/future but our high schools are one of the only pools they can draw from and like it or not they are just trying to do a job. That job is to find willing, qualified, and hopefully eager candidates. Not an easy task in these times.

Things have changed?

Well, the Navy really looks like a bunch of out of touch dips on this one. Apparently now they include training to help the recruiters understand the "young" people they are recruiting. I was a recruiter for the Navy and I thought this kind of thing would be a given considering that most of the recruiters are fulfilling only their 2nd or 3rd tour. They are often as young as 21 and seldom older than 30 unless they are the recruiter in charge. Apparently, to quote Christian Slater in Pump up the volume, "Society is mutating so rapidly that anyone over the age of twenty has really no idea." . By the way, that movie came out in 1990.
