US Army's recruitment techniques targeting children

Postby franfran on Mon Aug 11, 2008 2:25 pm

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.

We should round up all the plastic toy soldiers and J.I. Joe's and BURN THEM!!

NOT!
We Americans are damn tired of being thought of as dumb by the rest of the world. So we went to the polls in November and removed all doubt.

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.

Sure you can stop him.
Take away that free house you were going to give him.
He'll really throw a fit then.

He's not the type to throw a fit.

In fact Freddy, Ryan and Michael were out before christmas collecting money in the freezing cold for kids who would have nothing on christmas day - they were not at home saying "I want this..." and "I want that..."

What were YOUR children doing before christmas Freddy?

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? :twisted: :lol:

You know people like you are such downers. I played that game before when i like 16. It was really fun. It didnt make me want to join the army. It made want to play more video games!!! So what few people take it to the next level and join the army. You still have to be 18 to join. So...... No real way to get children unless there drafting people.
