US Army's recruitment techniques targeting children

[ZiaAries]

It looks just like game but it's an attempt, in the words of a military booklet , "to build a game for Army strategic communication in support of recruiting". The US Army spent $6 million developing the game before handing it over to private companies for further development.

If what you claim is true, I am glad to hear it.

Given that the U.S. Army allegedly developed this game "targeting children," I take it they are "targeting" American children.

I note from your avatar that you are located in Australia.

How is it your concern what the U.S. Army may be doing in the United States concerning Americans in the United States?

If someone puts on the freaking internet claiming that all Americans are cannibals, no doubt, there will be the foolish out there that's gonna believe it.

I am sitting here laughing so hard my sides are aching. Guess what, we are all piss poor over here too. I live under a bridge in a cardboard box. It's the American way.

before you condemn and burn GI Joe and the others, would it be possible to let them stop off the Barbie House of Ill Repute?

I want Elvis and Priscilla, the Bride and Groom barbies for Christmas. I already have the Elvis GI barbie doll. I wonder why that didn't influence me to join the army soon after my Mom weaned me off my baby bottle.

Fran, I'm also curious why and what about training our military has got to do with you? Are you afraid we'll invade the Outback?

Also, do ya'll get anything else on television over that is more entertaining than America? I hear Nicole and Keith are back in Sydney. Maybe the media will start stalking them or something.

Well, it’s a worldwide community. Fran deserves a break. None of you would hesitate to comment on things occurring in England, France, Germany, Spain or…dare I say it…Iran. Why is it impermissible to grant her an opinion?

[ZiaAries]

Cambridge,

Why don't you allow Fran to speak for herself? Why do you feel the need to step in, unless you think she is incapable of her own reply. She appears capable to hold her own. I too have every right to question a post or comment on this forum.

Would I hesitate to comment on other countries? I sure would if I didn't know what I was talking about.

Of course it is okay for her to give her opinion. Did you fall to notice that I asked her a question. An opinion is on thing, making claims without proof is another.

Please don't mediate. I find it patronizing to both me and to Fran Fran. You are not the moderator here and I am not a child. I suspect Fran is not one either.

Last... Cambridge, you may not be proud of America nor hold her in high regard as is reflected in the many posts I've read of yours. I don't hold the pessimism about my homeland as you. I will speak up and I will not tolerate you trying to suppress MY opinions or questions. So.... don't meddle in my posting directed to another member. There is 2 other people in the political section that does this between members. I find it obnoxious.

[NoLies]

I wish my son's to become the future leaders of this nation - and they are all of the Royal Blood, so they come from leaders of men.

But weren't some of our Royal blood not a bunch of perverts, murderers and Psychopaths?

Although having said that, your quite correct, with qualities like that they are admirably suited for the job, they will certainly not be out of place in British Politics, will they?

Although i have to agree with you, ive told my boys the same thing, they are not going to fight Israels wars, they are going to become Politicians, and get damn good money + cash in hand fiddle, disguised as expense's.

Soldier or politician? No contest really is it? Follow the Blair boys thats what i say.

Damn good show old bean, What What.

I hope you dont mind me pointing out that you have made a grammatic error, You should have said "There are 2 others "not "There is 2 others"

Indeed.

Little better than Islamists brainwashing children to be suicide bombers.

Fortunately you know your country ain't worth a S*** and have forbidden your sons from protecting it.

My country is worth a great deal. Without us Fred, the United States would be in deep crap! If we go - you're next!

I cannot stop my son's from joining and in fact my 16 year old recently mentioned that when he qualifies as a doctor (as he wishes to do) he wants to join the Royal Army Medical Corps.

I cannot stop him.

I wish my son's to become the future leaders of this nation - and they are all of the Royal Blood, so they come from leaders of men.

Oh stop it with your little queen and king BS. I your kings are shameful men that oppressed many nations for many years and then lost there power when the people started speaking out.

Wrong. My ancestor signed the Magna Carta.

I am thank full after hearing you say that royal crap that America beat you 200 hundred years ago. shows royalty means nothing.

Beat us? What makes you think we aren't coming back to claim our territory?

Now your country nice and all. But you guys have very small army.

With reserves, it numbers 500,000. Exactly half the US army. Hardly small. But in any case - the BEST trained in the world. You couldn't even beat the nothing-rate Vietnam!

since your tanks only number about 300!

One word - WRONG!

while America got 8,000. Now with that said. I would defend brits from invasion from foreign power just because of a strong bond you guys have made with us since ww2. And if britain fall for any reason. Some bad S*** must be going on in Europe!

The British do not need "defending". We have defened ourselves from invasion for centuries. You never "defended" us.

If Union Flag should burn - then it is the end of the world. It is as simple as that.

I was also talking to Fred - so butt out.

Yes you did need defending during ww2. If we did not get involve you guys would have lost.

Beat us? What makes you think we aren't coming back to claim our
territory?"

because your army would get destroyed. You would have no chance against us. It would be a bloody fight but in the end U.S FLag will wave over you! ANyway how would you propose to even get support to do what you say.


With reserves, it numbers 500,000. Exactly half the US army. Hardly small. But in any case - the BEST trained in the world. You couldn't even beat the nothing-rate Vietnam


Your getting killed by untrained Iraqi insurance. Like we are. So i would assume vietnam would not have gone different if you were there.

Best trained? Sorry buddy, U.S marines corps will beat you anytime!


So how many tanks do you have? I am pretty sure you guys only have 386 combat ready C2. I know you have bunch of outdated c1 laying around in some warehouse but those are way too old to fight. while we have 8,000 tanks that are the best in the world.


This is a public forum so DEAL WITH IT!!!!!

I am getting sick of this - so here we go AGAIN.

WE withdrew from Dunkirk,
WE won the Battle of Britain,
WE sunk the Bismarck,
WE hunted the U-Boats,
WE Invented radar,
WE Invented sonar,
WE broke the German codes,
WE planned D-Day,
WE won numerous victories in Africa,
WE defended OUR homeland,
WE supplied the MAJORITY of our needs from our ..

WE BOUGHT arms and fuel from the US for TWO reasons -

a) Our ships were under attack
b) Our factories at home were being bombed night and day

YOU DID NOT DEFEND THE UNITED KINGDOM.

YOU DID NOT DEFEND POLAND.
YOU DID NOT DEFEND THE NETHERLANDS.
YOU DID NOT DEFEND BELGUIM.
YOU DID NOT DEFEND LUXEMBOURG.
YOU DID NOT DEFEND NORWAY.
YOU DID NOT DEFEND DENMARK.
YOU DID NOT DEFEND GREECE.
YOU DID NOT DEFEND MALTA.
YOU DID NOT DEFEND EYGPT OR SUEZ.

YOU WATCHED AS THE FELL ONE BY ONE.

YOU DID NOT DEFEND THE UNITED KINGDOM EITHER.

You F****** Americans are usually a bunch of fat fuckarses.

BY THE TIME YOU JOINED THE WAR WE WERE ON THE OFFENSIVE NOT THE DEFENSIVE.

WE BROKE THE CODES ALLOWING D-DAY TO BE WON AND FOR THE RED ARMY TO WIN VICTORY IN THE EAST.

NOW LEARN SOME F****** HISTORY YOU DUMBFUCK.

AGAIN - LEARN SOMETHING PRICK.

HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL MARINE COMMANDO'S

HER MAJESTY'S SPECIAL AIR SERVICE

HER MAJESTY'S SPECIAL BOAT SERVICE

THE FINEST TROOPS ON THE EARTH. WE TRAIN YOUR F****** SPECIAL FORCES DUMBARSE. THE CIA HAD TO LEARN FROM MI6.

BRITISH FORCES ARE THE BEST TRAINED ON THE PLANET. 1 COMMANDO CAN KILL 100 MARINES.

LEARN YOU F****** t***.


So how many tanks do you have? I am pretty sure you guys only have 386 combat ready C2. I know you have bunch of outdated c1 laying around in some warehouse but those are way too old to fight. while we have 8,000 tanks that are the best in the world.

YOU NO NOTHING. AND JUST AS WELL.

THE CHALLENGER 2 IS THE BEST TANK IN NATO, WHICH HAS SET MANY RECORDS.

Germany SURRENDERED to
Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (abbreviated as SHAEF, pronounced "shāf"), was the headquarters of the Commander of Allied forces in north west Europe, from late 1943 until the end of World War II. General Dwight D. Eisenhower was in command of SHAEF throughout its existence.

Come Come now my dear Colonel, i only asked a civil question sir, nothing wrong in that eh, we men of the world know which way the jolly old Caviar is cut what what.

Did we not have a one of our good Kings rushed to hospital with a . firmly lodged in his Anal fissure? Hardly top draw ide venture to say sir.

And may i say sir that his excuse of having a Vindaloo the evening before so he had to stoke the embers there in, the very next day, cut no ice with me sir, none at all.

Add to that sir the fact that more than one of our fine Blue blooded Monarch's have been been a seat or two missing from their jolly old top deck what.

If ive told a whopper sir, ile tender my apologies forthwith, we men of the world are never to proud to admit to the occasional a mistake sir, i say were never too proud sir What.

We Blue bloods must stick to gether sir, give one inch and the heathen peasants, (the great unwashed) as it were, will take a yard, i say they'll take a yard sir.

Is it missing then?

Eisenhower was an idiot. Macarthur was your best.

As usual, the Americans like to think they are in charge.

Do tell us Fred - HOW MANY BATTLES DID IKE PLAN? HOW MANY WAS HE IN? HOW MANY DID HE FIGHT?

I'll tell you - SOD ALL!

The Commander of the Army was:

FIELD MARSHAL, BERNARD MONTGOMERY, 1st VISCOUNT MONTGOMERY OF EL ALIMEIN.

Eisenhower DID NOTHING.

Shot yourself in the foot there.
