that they'll be gossiping publicly. advertising to tell you things you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along the border will watch. ladies and gentlemen on t.v. you want to national aviation and space out on twenty seven thousand. positions. and there are no remote control you are needed for the marching bands twenty seven thousand disagreed with innovative technologies. and the greatest achievements of the aerospace industry during the reason will be offered simple. and really true mission along with this stunning. piece do not

switch if you are that tonic devices used to share your experiences on social media we receive constant hearing. this is where they pierced america's heart on the eleventh of september two thousand and one fifteen years after the attacks new york is celebrating its heroes the military. parade to on a one point five million troops the saviors of freedom every eleventh of november this parade on as generations of troops from the fallen of world war one to 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're between fourteen and seventeen years old and belong to the junior. jr o.t.c. is a pentagon program. wonderful feel that your love for art next week right from head young. six year old camping three year old signed. up right at your point without crying. by. hand.

on. america has pledged to turn these children into heroes these junior troops include five hundred thousand minors across the united states they're the hope of a fearful country they're destined to defy tera the first generation post nine eleven. s i this public 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 they're new to the program they'll receive their uniforms today. the u.s. army is teaching at more than three thousand public schools students who opt for the army during. them from physical education. the biggest thing i look at as just make sure your hair does not touch your ears you're. facing a four year program created unfunded by the pentagon lots of finger nails right here what is 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 going to lose points let me see goals

come from back so we come from structured environment and we know what it takes to create a structured environment regular teacher is a graduate teaches to to fit and then they they start teaching but i don't think they really understand classroom management or mention large groups of people in different. different ways of doing it like we do this and maybe that's why we can get the kids do push ups but a regular teacher could you know as i want to be you know become more of a better citizen in the country and well i just want to become stronger physically and mentally most of those things would. listen spaceless. just like listen i was it's risky. business interests. will close i would like to see you and stuff like this as well but any question soul for.

the j r o t c program was founded in one thousand nine hundred sixteen. or 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 enough. 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 after serving thirty three years in the army supervises junior cadets. program is really about citizenship it'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 recruiting so it's a distinct difference and it's a very important point because a lot of people a lot of teachers don't understand that they think that we are and you know we almost get defensive because we 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 especially useful for fighting gangs. for neighborhoods harlem high school another one finger and so south and west ten an era to be the rough once. again it's what i would call the anti-gay we give alternative is great after needs for kids to do things 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. i go for 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. in the morning.

he's getting ready for school she's been in the sea for four years. kind of excited to. have. any i guess legacy just. a uniform rules. the chaos for childhood shaped by violence. on wednesday students and most of. the three hundred eighty cadets have to wear the uniform one in five students has opted for the army the day starts with a troop inspection. didn't take up your clothes you don't have you don't think i owe you not for your mum

think over your clothes you carrying your forearm i miss. and sit there. since september yasmin has been leading the cadets she is the boss she inspects the troops. 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 see like the army videos you're like oh my god like they're so strict they have to do everything in unison whether you're shy or not your chance to step up to any problems so that the way for a comfortable with yourself and things you are yourself so pretty much gives you that confidence but. that's read again if you let it but. i don't see.

it. the army 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 pool and is the sole decision maker regards their content. what does the army expense of the children it moves to its ideals officially nothing but it's hard to ignore the sergeant's business. yes. this. this all of this the recruiters they leave their carts and these a different routers navy army. marine corps and if it is interesting in the military we'll 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 will 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 and share to some program

is funded through the district so we don't take our school money to pay to have some teaches. yes it is which is a nice thing so and they're all military they're retired military. officers and they come in. and they give back to the kids so they get paid through the to the hour to see program and this is me so it's nice something we don't have to pay for some. of. the program also includes morning and evening activities before and off to school formal training parades military music on the college god. the army is creative in how it uses military drills to inspire and thousands of american youngsters to become soldiers.

so. what politicians do. to put themselves on the line big get accepted over rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be. that you'd like to be close this is what before three of the boys can't be good. interested always in the waters and. there should.

opposes the system. leave the army and since then he has someone to discourage you from joining his film employ. they're. not communicating the full story. they ask me duty is a very popular video game. play and they ask me is the military like call of duty. vast majority people who do the civilians. 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. these kids don't hear the darker side. to be a special forces soldier and foolish in afghanistan. he tries to convince teaches.

about the reality of school. and i signed up to prevent another terrorist attack by targeting so many innocent people. we are creating the conditions for more terrorist attacks. there's an important statistic. between nine hundred eighty and two thousand and one there are 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. if i speak to three schools here because. generally. the teachers you know because it's a positive program don't necessarily want to rock the boat or bring someone like me

and talk to the kids. i mean it's a perk arius work environment for so many teachers unfortunately so it's it hasn't been easy the u.s. 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 closed 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 in the u.s. since chicago's j o c are made up of fifty four percent latino thirty seven percent african-americans and only five percent caucasian yasmin's 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 she'll graduate she dreams of going to university and becoming a social work designer. exploring a lot in being able to. 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 being away from home that long people say. because they feel they. maybe not born in the united states and they feel like that's a great thing 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 streets of major cities in the so-called failing states of the rust belt and especially in the south. particularly in texas there are more than two hundred. units in the lone star state after the nine eleven attacks before the region deployed the most troops. back home nearby.

fort hood the army and its supporting agencies other regions main employers. 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 texans practice shooting. about five hundred feet. and teach adults because many adults on how to safely handle rifles and especially

other kids that have pellet rifle b.b. guns you know they don't have a lot of haven't been to safety classes. pledge allegiance to the high states of america and carry elections and actually gets to be what they. want is because. you are the future of america you want to control the country we've continued to have fear is that they know that you can control. you know you know that right. you control fear not made a control you because your view at her to that on the ballot your courage to do what's right whether you're in the classroom and even on the battlefield humming inches you need tell you need three. ingredients as

i once said it's like like other jobs you'd be like sitting in an office all there 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 scary shit bottoms 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 is great memory weight 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 a c. unit trying to get me and i saluted the ship off right after graduation. seventeen years of age. three years in the army with the option of extending to

eighty is a program. makes this possible. still in school. every thursday 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 at attack a restaurant the army has promised to teach him how to drive tanks.

so. yes we're going to be rest are going to. school on friday. will be out there and it's there to an area like this right in texas there's a 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 obviously we want to be able to afford them the opportunity to. cover nineteen different high schools and. not have to work on. so although there have assigned high schools that they should be in you know a least twice weeks you see is 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 this students to the pentagon so dope 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 enticements the 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. he gets into. my tent and i. like this i just.

like. anyone i believe. old man. formal fairly nice living amongst. top. forty percent of junior reservists enlist in the army after graduating. i'm pretty sure every parent as a son or daughter in the military would be in their afraid for their. other child. from here on out imo i'm pretty much more sensible for our little federal but then another.

are such as in this or. feel. it's an. elf. yes.

oh.
