Preparing for the Draft...
Advertisements [?]
With this latest cutting of student Pell grants and other financial aid, I was struck by whom directly would be affected by this movie.
The poor and lower to middle class kids and families.
Okay, so they don't go to school because they can't afford it.
Given that little ingot of information, would it be a stretch to predict that in early September, when those students, that would usually be in school, but aren't and are now out looking for work, that suddenly, the military starts a huge recruitment campaign? Or even the draft?
With the angle of making money for college in the armed forces?
Until another terror attack, when they can call a draft, I see these various little movements on the part of the * admin, working the psychology to get kids in uniform.
And since moron is so tight with the corps, would it be a further stretch to say that he tells them to tell their various PR people to only hire older people. Against the law, I know, but that hasn't stopped them before.
First you cut off funds for school, then you limit employment opportunities, then they hold out the carrot of money for school in the military.
Call me crazy, but I don't trust a damn thing they do. Everything to me by them is motivated to invade another country.
Just my two cents.
