you can revolt against the dictator but what about the day after i think. people did not give much thought about that and so they waged. the resolution does not build nations. certainly does not build states. this is where they pierced america's heart on the eleventh of september two thousand and one fifteen years off to the attacks new york is celebrating its heroes the military. parade to own a one point five million troops the saviors of freedom every eleventh of november this parade on as generations of troops from the world one of those returning from

iraq or afghanistan their replacements are waiting the young generation the future of the world's most powerful military. these recruits are still in school they are between fourteen and seventeen years old and belong to the junior was a. jr o.t.c. is a pentagon program. and. want to feel. pride from. six year old three year olds not. just the price that you're born with the price up.

and. america has pledged to turn these children into heroes these junior troops include five hundred thousand minus across the united states they're the hope of a fearful country they're destined to defy tara the first generation post nine eleven. school in chicago's south one in five students opted for the army an hour of classes a day five times a week taught by retired service members i. i i i. these

youngsters are in year eight and then new to the program they'll receive their uniforms today. take seats. in the u.s. army is teaching at more than three thousand public schools students who aren't for the army are exempt from physical education. the biggest thing i look at as just make sure your hair does not hurt your ears. they're facing a four year program created unfunded by the pentagon rights of fingernails right here what are some authorized colors. let me see your nails right now hold them up right now tomorrow. if she doubt her nails like this right here she's got

a little sports. let me see goals come from so we come from structure to it and we know what it takes to create a structured environment reg'lar teachers they graduate teachers to to fix it and then they they start teaching but i don't think they really understand classroom management or men into large groups of people in different. different ways of doing like we do this and maybe that's why we can get the kids to push up but a regular teacher could you know as i want to you know become more of a better citizen in the country well i just want to become stronger physically and mentally was that. this was the series. just like i was interested. this is interesting. course i like to say is that this is what any question soul for.

jr o.t.c. program was founded in one thousand nine hundred sixteen. one but over time its influence waned it was only after nine eleven that president george bush revitalized its image shortly thereafter the military starts preparing for war in afghanistan they need volunteers but there aren't any due to the impending war officially the pentagon calls it a contribution to the development of youth in chicago colonel retired off to serving thirty three years in the army supervises junior cadets well the junior r o t c. program is really about sosa and ship that's about. teaching young boys and girls high school age you know young men and women about

service and you know. what they can do to better themselves but i have nothing to do with it it's a distinct difference and it's a very important point because a lot of people a lot of teachers don't understand it they think that we are. you know we almost. have to explain that we're not on a regular basis in chicago the program is widespread the army teaches that one in four schools are training more than ten thousand adolescents the authorities accept this militarization of education as especially useful for fighting gangs. of neighborhoods harlan high school another one finger in south and west ten an era to be the. what i would call the we give great after. a lot of fun and give back to the society the army is a good gang acting as a counterweight to the violent gangs last year three hundred one use under sixteen

were shot thirty one died. to protect students the city provide security for their way home the guards are mostly veterans of iraq and afghanistan. be careful. people die every night two thousand and sixteen was the deadliest year in chicago this past decade six hundred dead more than in any other american city shady characters walk the street as a curfew for people under twenty one starting at nine in the evening. district in the city's south. are past four in the morning.

yasmin is seventeen. she's getting ready for school she's been in the jr o.t.c. for four years. i was kind of excited to wear it because it just looks so clean when you put it on especially when you have your own your actual cord on and you see all those decorations money i guess legace just something of our appearance there people think like we're not the type of people to get involved with out in the street. a uniform rules. of the chaos for childhood shaped by violence. on wednesdays students and most of. the three hundred eighty could dance have to wear the uniform one in five students has opted for the army the day starts with a troop inspection.

do not take up your clothes you do not have a rank you don't think of your culture you are not for your mum think over your goal if you carry it on your forearm i missed the point. in saying that. since september yasmin has been leading the cadets she is the boss she inspects the troops. and i feel like i'm with the army yeah because at school like we're so used to like just doing everything maybe halfway and not actually giving it our hundred and when you feel like the army videos you're like oh my god like they're so strictly they have to do everything in unison whether you're shy or not you're challenged to step up to any problem so that may feel like you're comfortable with yourself and it brings you out of your shell so pretty much gives you that confidence but. the straight again you can be loud. but i don't see.

b.-o. me doesn't just teach these students discipline they also learn the history of the armed forces as well as doing civil studies and getting into shape the pentagon provides the polks and is the so decision maker regards that content. what does the army expect of the children it moans to its ideals officially nothing but it's hard to ignore the sergeant's business cards. this is this all of. the recruiters they leave their carts and these a different routers navy army. marine corps and if it is interested in the military will give them the card and they contact the recruiter and the recruiter assist them in joining the military and that's why i said that we

really don't. recruit we'll sister if the cadet is interested in going in the military but we don't recruit ourselves it's a win win because at the college level if the kid meets the requirements he or she could get either a for four years style should pay four or three or even two and then at the end of their college when they're about to graduate then they would be commissioned as an officer in the army air force or navy which actually pays very well if you go to college it's additional way there's no guarantees you get a job when you graduate college. does the school administration approve of these methods how to teach is that america's public schools see the presence of the army in their classrooms nancy wiley headmistress at the hubbard school is pragmatic. c.p.s. is struggling sometimes you know financially so we have to be real careful about

our how we promote programs and how we finance programs the chair to see program is funded through the district so we don't take our school money to pay to have free teaches. yes it is which is a nice thing so and there are military there are retired military. officers and they come in. and they give back to the kids so they could pay through the to the adults you see program and this is me so it's nice. something we don't have to pay for. the program also includes morning and evening activities before and after school formal training parades military music on the color guard. the army is creative in how it uses military drills to inspire thousands of american youngsters to become soldiers. what was.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry honey i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our archives and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that

mainstream media has met its maker. but. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington. washington post media the media over voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power who must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . fanning a former soldier opposes the system. made him leave the army and since

then he has someone to discover his use through joining his film employ. they're. not communicating the full story. they ask me call of duty is a very popular first video game. play and they ask me is the military like call of duty. vast majority people who do the civilians they said. do you hear women and children screaming you know when they see their son or daughter child. beauty the video game. turn off call of duty oh yeah well you can't turn off these kids just don't hear the darker side. to be a special forces soldier and foolish in afghanistan he tries to convince teaches to let him talk about the reality of school. and i signed up to prevent another

terrorist attack. targeting so many innocent people. creating the conditions for more terrorist attacks. there's an important statistic you know between one nine hundred eighty and two thousand and one there were three hundred eighty four suicide bombs around the world only ten percent of those suicide directed at the u.s. and u.s. interests since two thousand and one there's been over twenty five hundred suicide bombs around the world with ninety percent aimed at the u.s. and u.s. interests. i'm lucky if i speak to three schools here because the program is. generally positive the teachers you know because it's a positive program don't necessarily. or rock the boat or bring someone like me and talk to the kids. for it i mean it's a perk arius work environment for so many teachers unfortunately so it's. the us

spends about sixty billion dollars a year on education we spend probably six hundred billion dollars a year on average on the military so it's about ten times more on the military than advocation we close fifty public schools here they said there's no money for the schools so the military. is filling in the blanks. operates in districts while statistics on ethnic breakdowns in fronts not in the u.s. since chicago's j r c made up of fifty four percent latino thirty seven percent african-americans and only five percent caucasian. parents came to thirty years ago from mexico they rented out a small room for events in their neighborhood yasmin is the youngest of four children in the evening after school she always helps them in six months graduates

she dreams of going to university and becoming a social work designer. exploring a lot in being able to do many things at the same time and i know with being in you do travel a lot which is awesome but i don't think i would be able to handle a being away from home that long some people say. because they feel they. maybe not born in the united states and they feel like that's a way of integrating something made this.

the geographic allocation of the program shows discrepancies. for instance there's only one school in montana. program with just two schools in new hampshire. population of both states is ninety percent white the army is active in the major cities in the failing states of the rust belt and especially in the south. particularly in texas there are more than two hundred. after the nine eleven attacks before the region deployed troops. back home nearby. fort hood the.

other regions main employer. this is where the army has set up shooting ranges at schools teaching students how to use guns. every morning an hour before these young fourteen year old takes practice shooting. about five hundred. adults because many adults. and rifles and especially other kids that have pellet rifle b.b. guns you know they don't have a lot of them haven't been to safety classes. pledge allegiance to the high

states of america and carry elections and actually get to be what they. want is. you are the future of america you want to control the type country we've continued to have fear is that they that you can control. you know you know that right. you control fear not let a control you because your view at her to that on the ballot your courage you gotta do what's right whether you're in the classroom and even on the battlefield humming you need tell you need three. one could you tell us why once he said it's like like other jobs you'd be like sitting in an office all day or some day you want to do would just get boring after

a few years but i know the military will give me a chance to reach out to others and also make me a better person that's why i want to join the military actually already doing a little teary sure botham's life. so when my classmate who was saying. you can't go wrong with the military it's a great stepping stone for whatever career you want to do. the military's great memory way you know it builds leaders every single day that we care is our country we can control more we can actually embrace and inspire more with that power that's why i think the military is like great things to do and that's why i joined. the military beginning and i started the ship off right after graduation. seventeen years. signed up for three years in the army with the option of extending to eighty is a program. makes this possible. still in

school. every day he meets his trainers who prepare him for military service until he receives his obligatory diploma. the young man drives a sports car the money for it attack a restaurant the army has promised to teach him how to drive tanks.

so. yes we're going to be going to. school on friday. they are. there to the area like this right in texas the high school market is definitely where recruiters want to be because that's where the majority of people want to join in the syria in august if you want to be able to afford them the opportunity to. cover nineteen different high schools and. not have to work on any. of them have assigned high schools that they should be in. twice weeks she says probably the biggest asset and as far as recruiting goes you know we go out to the schools who are looking for. there's no conscription in the u.s.

as in one hundred forty six other countries some recruiters have to sell a u.s. army to eighty thousand use a year two thousand and one law makes this easy schools must submit data on all the students to the pentagon so to can contact them directly at home otherwise funding is cut. it's quite a task right now i have i think i have fifty three future soldiers in our program at one point we were up to seventy five. and so it's a challenge you know and especially some of them being younger they you know you have to keep up with them and give them you know to do what they're supposed to. you know it's it can be challenging. and the fight for their heart starts in primary school every regiment of the fort

hood base has set up a partnership with a school. this operation enticement to see soldiers spend hundreds of hours every year with these children they read to them go to the school canteen with them and help them with their homework. that. and i. think it's i just. think.

anyone feeling. normal really nice living along. with. forty percent of junior reservists enlist in the army after graduating. i'm pretty sure every parent has a son or daughter in the military would be in their afraid for their. for their child. for me i'm pretty much more sensible for our little federal but then another something good. in this or.

imagine being six thirty five and you have a career and a career involves using your i phone in your computer and things like that being in an office and perhaps you sort of getting to nix a circular t.v. you could have to stop doing all this and this is tell you lou the minutes must be frank my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it

and the box. very strong magnetic field on my head in my head. think of it like a real hard pressure my skin burned and that wireless access point there just continues on saying with our students in the schools. we are just continually bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. there and with the with minute i can only get a little bit of physical as well plus i'm a lawyer but i. know both of it was a problem but i just sort of kind of the scientists you. see a dump a lot and just see or be told that is.

where they. you go get a good area for immigrants it's hit and miss we never really know for sure but this has been a active area. you know. when i started no i.

knew how. headlines. lebanese political militant group hezbollah. islamic state alongside syrian forces. terrorists last stronghold of syria. and it's really terrorist. location in the west bank. and of admission. on its way. to challenge those behind the move.
