[000:00:00;00] live . this is where they pierced america's hearts on the eleventh of september two thousand and one fifteen years after the attacks new york is celebrating its heroes the military. a parade to on a one point five million troops the save years 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. 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. jr o.t.c. is a pentagon program. like the film feel it should not for our speak right from head to young. six year

old three year olds not. just the price you're born with right. 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. at 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 was.

i i. and these youngsters are in year eight and then new to the program they'll receive their uniforms today. take siri. to the u.s. army is teaching at more than three thousand public schools students who opt for the army are exempt from physical education. the biggest thing a look at as just make sure your hair does not touch your ears. they're facing a four year program created unfunded by the pentagon lots of fingernails right here what are some authorized colors that will. let me see your nails all 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 those come from back so we come from structured environments and we know what it takes to create a structured environment regolith each as they graduate college they get is just a terrific get and then they they start teaching but i don't think they really understand classroom management or demand engine large groups of people in different. different ways of doing it like we do this and maybe that's why we can get the keys to push ups but a regular teacher could you know as

a one of you know become. this is a weekly test of the no weather radio all hazards warning device for station k h twenty eight in philadelphia pennsylvania during potentially dangerous weather situations specially built receivers are automatically activated to warn of the impending hazard test of the signal normally conducted by the weather service in mount holly new jersey every wednesday between eleven am and. if there is a threat of severe weather during the normal test time the test will be postponed to the next good weather day reception of this broadcast and especially the warning alarm tone will vary at any given location this variability normally more noticeable a greater distances from the transmitter can occur even though you are a good quality receiver in perfect working order the warning alarm tone will be activated for hazardous the watches and warnings for the following counties and marine areas near the city of philadelphia in pennsylvania burbs chester delaware

montgomery and philadelphia in new jersey burlington cambon cumberland gloucester hundred mercer monmouth and salem in delaware kid in castle including a privilege or b. in maryland cecil including chesapeake bay no island this concludes the week the test of no weather radio all hazards station k h twenty eight in philadelphia pennsylvania thank you for listening to no weather radio all hazards. this militarization of education is especially useful for fighting gangs. and. what i would. give. the army is a good gang as

a counterweight to the violent gangs last year three hundred. thirty one died. to protect students provide security for their way home. veterans of iraq and afghanistan. 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 the street there's a curfew for people under twenty one starting at nine in the evening.

district in the city's south. past four in the morning. ready for school she's been in the. years. i know excited to wear it because. when you put it on when you have. your actual court i'm. finally i guess legace 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 you don't you don't have you don't think up close you do not want your mum think over your clothes you carried on your forearm i missed one. and. 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 way for comfortable with yourself and things you are yourself so it pretty much gives you that confidence but. that's right 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. it's. this. this all of. the recruiters they leave their carts and these a different krueger's navy army. marine corps and if it is interested 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 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 four rod 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 them teaches. yes it is which is a nice thing. and all it's here is retired military. officers and they come in. and they give back to the kids so they get paid through the program and this is me so it's nice something we don't have to think for him so. that also includes morning and evening activities before and off to school formal training parades military music college gone. the army is creative in how it uses military drills to inspire and thousands of american youngsters to become soldiers

. what. local blogs tell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to stop spreading tell you that celebrity gossip the public but ralph little. eyes and tell you on the cool enough to buy their products. all the hawks we get all the walking. here's what people have been saying about redacted in. full on. the show i go out

of my way to find you know we really packed a punch in the john oliver of r t america is doing this. apparently better than. you see people you've never heard of. jack tonight the president of the world bank take. me seriously send us an e-mail. a former opposes the system what he saw and experienced made him leave the army and since then he has someone to discover his use from joining his former employer. they're. not communicating the full story. they ask me call of duty is a very popular first video game. kids play and they ask me is the military like call of duty. vast majority people who die in call of duty civilians they said. do

you hear women and children screaming you know when they see their son or daughter child die in front of them call of duty the videogame. turn off call of duty oh yeah well you can't turn off war and a lot of these kids just don't hear the darker side. fanning used to be a special forces soldier and fourteen afghanistan. he tries to convince teaches to let him talk about the reality of war school. and i signed up to prevent another terrorist attack by targeting so many innocent people. we are only creating the conditions for more terrorist attacks. there's an important statistic you know 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 by. ninety percent aimed at the u.s. and u.s. interests. i'm lucky if i speak to three schools here because the charity c. program is. generally positive and the teachers you know because it's a positive program don't necessarily want to rock the boat by bringing someone like me and talk to the kids. and i don't fault them for it 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 close fifty public schools here they said there's no money for the schools so the military is filling in the blanks. see 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 yes my parents came to go thirty years ago from mexico they were in town to a small room for events in their neighborhood yasmin is the youngest of four children in the evening up to school she always helps them in six months she'll graduate she dreams of going to university and becoming a social work designer. i like 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

a being away from home that long some people say. because they feel they were maybe not born in the united states and they feel like that's a way of integrating something in this. new geographic allocation of the program shows discrepancies. for instance there's only one school in montana offering a jr o.t.c. program with just two schools in new hampshire. the population of both states is

ninety percent white the army is active in the point districts 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 j.-o. o.t.c. units in the lone star state after the nine eleven attacks before worth region deployed the most troops and also brought the most foreign back home nearby is the largest american military base fort hood the army and its supporting agencies all the region's main employers. this is where the army has set up shooting ranges at schools and he's teaching students how to use guns point five three to right for. every morning an hour before class these young fourteen year old texans practice shooting.

are the real rifles and. they shoot about five hundred feet between five and six hundred feet a second it's a very powerful instant changes its soft it's a softer the pellet. the hope is when they leave here they can go and teach adults because many adults don't know 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 them haven't been to safety classes. very . good to be what they. want is if. you are the future of america you want to control the country we

fear is that they that you can control. you know that right. you control if you're not made a control you you go through view. on the value of courage to do what's right whether you're in the classroom and even on the battlefield coming. in could you tell us once you like other jobs you'd be like sitting in an office so there are some that 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 them. sure. so when my classmate saying. you can't go wrong with the military it's a great stepping stone for whatever you want to do. the military's great memory way

you know it builds leaders every day that we care is our country we can control more we can actually embrace and inspire more with our that's why i think the military is like great things to do and that's why i joined. the ship right after graduation. seventeen years of age saul has signed up for three years in the army with the option of extending to eighty is a program future soldier makes this possible. the army to enlist youngsters while is 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 he earned the money for it at attack

a restaurant the army has promised to teach him how to drive tanks. or he will. come back and look back on the memories they proud of where i came from you know. all the. people. i know it's ours last. year it's. going to. put so. yes we're going to be we're actually going to do a presentation at your school on friday. french 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 want to be able to afford them the opportunity to do that how often do you cover nineteen different high schools and five colleges and i have twelve recruiters there work on me so all of them have assigned high schools that they should be in you know at least twice a week you see is probably the biggest asset and as far as recruiting goes you know when we go out to the schools you know 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 the students to the pentagon so two coaches 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. 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 the 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. kind. and i. like this i just. like. anyone to be. formal really nice and loving the last.

forty percent of junior reservists enlist in the army after graduating. i'm pretty sure every as a son or daughter in the military would be in their afraid for their. other child. from here on out i'm pretty much before our little federal but then another. are such as in this or.

economic development is all about numbers so we're really pleased to report this quarter we are one hundred six morning. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike du made over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart a says c.n.n. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. is that just how a free market would. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devoid society did from the whatever the government tried to do both at nestle mrs. markham

a few things worse. by saying this is not how capitalism works this is all capitalism goes hopelessly disastrously wrong. shots seemed wrong why don't we all just don't hold. any of these yet to shape out just doing the cuts to the ticket and it gains from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. it's taken these children's home. threatens to take their future. like. the volcano here could

erupt again at any time. most people have a strong choice to. live in poverty. which going to. put some a following a different. thing . to. the point that hope for a better life. can. be seized. but. i don't think.

that's like. the food going to come to do it in the. good ol good heart. of the heart some. time. the rift between madrid and barcelona deepens as catalonia says it's ready to declare independence from spain in a matter of days. any to ship of the al nusra terror group in syria is all but eliminated off a twelve top longest diet of the group leaders now. in a critical condition following a russian. on the middle east is also in focus at the russia and if you weak forward with saudi king solomon set to arrive in
