see you next time and remember. in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is built. from washington to washington. over voters to businessman to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before.

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 for 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. jr o.t.c. is a pentagon program. funded feel it should not for arcanite speak right from the head young. six year old three year olds not. just the price you're born with that price. 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. these youngsters are in year eight then new to the program they'll receive their uniforms today. take seats. in the u.s. army is teaching it 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. let me see your nails are 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 back so with some fun stuff to them by 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 kids to push up but a regular teacher. as i want to be you know become more of a better citizen in the country just want to become stronger physically and mentally was totally. baseless. just like i was it's risky. business if it's a. course like. this. any question soul for. jr o.t.c. program was founded in one thousand nine hundred sixteen during world war 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 after serving thirty three years in the army supervises junior cadets or the junior r o t c. 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 game we give alternative is great after trainees for kids to do things are 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 in the street there's a curfew for people under twenty one starting at nine in the evening. district in the city's south. in the morning. ready for school she's been in the sea for four years. kind of excited to. have. me i guess. we're not.

a uniform rules. the chaos for childhood shaped by violence. on wednesday students some. 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 that you are not valuable thing over here quote you carrying a forearm i missed one. and. since september yasmin has been leading the cadets she is the boss she inspects the troops. dealing 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 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 out but i don't see. it. 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. the recruiters they leave their carts and these are different for others 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 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 now and see wiley headmistress at the hub of 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 so and they're all it's here they're retired military. officers and they come in. and they give back to the kids so they can pay through to the program this is me so it's nice something we don't have to pay for so.

the program also includes morning and evening activities before and off to school formal training parades military music color guard. is creative in how it uses military drills to inspire thousands of american youngsters to become soldiers . here's what people have been saying about rejecting. the only show i go out of my way to talk you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah there's the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue things that some people you've never heard of love

redacted the night president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. to sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. they don't sleep with you socks for the tell you that what we gossip the. most important news today. tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product please. the hawks that we along with our. watch. fanning a former soldier opposes the system. leave the army and since

then he has some want to discourage use from joining his form employer. they're. not communicating the full story to people 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 being a special forces soldier and food 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 is 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 bombs around the world with ninety percent aimed at the u.s. and u.s. interests. 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. rock the boat bring someone like me and talk to the kids. i mean it's a perk arius work environment. 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 a military than advocation we close fifty public schools here so there's no money for the schools so the military. is filling in the blanks. operates in districts while statistics on ethnic breakdowns in france not in the u.s. since chicago's see are 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 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. 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

army and its supporting agencies all the region's main employers. this is where the army has set up shooting ranges at schools teaching students how to use guns. every morning and. these young fourteen year old texans practice shooting. about five hundred. teach adults because many adults. and rifles and especially other kids that have pellet rifle b.b. guns you know they don't

a lot of them haven't been to safety classes. pledge allegiance to the high interest rates of america and carry elections and actually gets to be what they really want is if. you are the future of america you want to control the country we continue to have fear is that they know that you can control. you know that right. you control fear not let a control you because of you at her to that on the ballot your courage going to do what's right whether you're in the classroom and even on the battlefield. 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 because me and i saluted the ship off right after graduation. seventeen years. signed up to 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 attack a restaurant the army has promised to teach him how to drive tanks.

and i'm. so. yes we're going to be rushing in to do a presentation at your 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 august if you want to be able to afford them the opportunity to. cover nineteen different high schools in five colleges and i have to work on many. of them have assigned high schools that they should be in you know a lot. twice weeks gerrity c. 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 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 especially some of them being younger they you know you have to keep up with them and keep all of you know to do what they're supposed to but. 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. and i. think so i just. think.

anyone. really nice and loving the last. 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 there afraid for their. for their child. from here on i'm pretty much before your little federal but then you know their sons and. our friends in this are.

economic development is all about numbers really pleased to report this quarter we are one hundred six points. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike do. over twenty million dollars last year more than one. thousand times the average wal-mart a says. with all due respect i have to say

i don't think that's right. just tell a free market works. 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. the whatever the government tried to do it wasn't nicely maybe. it might be making things worse. by saying this is not how capitalism works this is our capitalism goes hopelessly disastrously wrong. with it but. you know if.

it's taken these children's hopes. it threatens to take their future. as the volcano here could erupt again at any time. most people have a stark choice. live in poverty. what's going to. put some a following a different. it's. the same to. point that out for that

so. i. following strong support for capital independence from spain now and see independence protest as a gathering in barcelona complicated catalonia in its own future a correspondence that the latest head to the supposed a morning molting billion dollar deals are on the table is the king of saudi arabia arrives here in russia on the kingdom's first ever official visit and it could be a signal of a wider shift in saudi foreign policy to. also we feel certifiably so good no vote were affected.
