11. Those are not the recruiters
Sun May 2, 2021, 09:14 AM
May 2021

Parents should worry about. At least they are out in the open. It’s the MAGA type recruiters, Proud Boys, One Percenters, White Nationalist, and right wing militias in the dark corners of the net, that most high schoolers see everyday. Not occasionally at a High School Career day.
I served in the Navy, during Vietnam. I joined, draft number 324. Best thing I ever did. But, I see the point. Where the GQP and Fox is taking this country now and the brain dead’s licking it all up, I would not give a day of service to it or a single one of them. Serving under coward Trump and “HIS” generals, what a joke. Look at how many insurrectionist were vets and even active. Military can do young people great, it now can breed hate and cultish gun fanatics looking for war here. Just my opinion.
