Hi, my cousin in Florida brought it to my attention that high school students are encouraged to join the military by teachers and recruiters. I did some research on this and found that by american law there is a "no child left behind" act in which children's details are required to be handed over to army recruiters by high schools so recruiters can target them specifically and brainwash them to do Bush's bidding. This i find disgusting, but there is hope, there is a legal LOOPHOLE that allows your child to "opt out" of this act and his/her details will not be given to the military. If you are concerned about your children's well being when regarding armed forces and are concerned that he/she will be brainwashed into believing that dying for the government is noble, patriotic etc then you can direct them to this website

http://www.militaryfreezone.org/

This gives your child the opportunity to download a form which they have to fill in and give to their principal which will leave them "untouched" by military recruiters. You've seen the bodies in Iraq, imagine if that was your child.
 
yes it should by the child's choice to not get into something like that

but i can't endorse people giving the message "dont go to iraq it suxxx" and of course it sucks, but that'd just be telling them what to choose again

yeh sorry i shuld have put "unless your child wants to join", I feel that people should be given both sides of the story before signing up, and this also isn't iraq specific, god knows what war we'll be fighting next.
