all young men will be put in prison starting at age 3 (the point where they are strong enough to pull a trigger), and released at age 18.

during their internment, they will be reeducated in the right wing mythology.

upon release they will be battle trained for entrance right into the military.

do I really need to add a sarcasm tag? (but like most sarcasm, it shrouded with a bit of truth)
