Occupation Iraq: Army High School

If this doesn't convince you of the militarization of America, nothing will.

Think of this as your child's civilian school is falling apart, AmeriKa!

We got a WAR MACHINE rolling and NOTHING GONNA STOP IT!


"Army opens prep school for dropouts to fill ranks" by SUSANNE M. SCHAFER – 1 day ago

FORT JACKSON, S.C. (AP) — Austin Swarner left high school to care for his mother while she fought a losing battle with cancer. Tony Brown wanted to begin supporting himself and left two classes shy of a diploma. Haelee Holden got tired of trying to make it through school while flipping burgers until 1 a.m.

But the U.S. Army, eager to fill its ranks amid wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, doesn't see them as dropouts. They are recruits who only need a GED before they're ready to begin basic training.

And so, the Army formally opens its first prep school Wednesday.

Every single damn cent is going for this fascist military state.
