Subject: Re: [whatnext] militarization at elementary school

URL: http://www.projectyano.org

The Pentagon's strategy is not merely to recruit high school seniors for
military job slots. Its strategy s to go after people as young as possible
and influence the way they think. There is no rationale for ranks speaking
at an elementary school other than to propagandize and shape children's
values. It's the sme reason why they are forming the Young Marines in middle
schools and taking elementary school tudents out to military bases and
ships.

This approach by the Pentaon creates receptivity to recruiters when
children grow old enough to enlist, and also receptivity to a more
conservative, militaristic agenda when they grow old enough to become part
of the voting population.

This is the militarization of society, which has serious long-term
consequences. It should be resisted and protested every bit as much as high
school recruiting.
