PROTESTS: I'm probably going to offend some old hippies here. Oh, well....

There's a very good reason the US military largely takes in only 18-20-year-old men. The transition into adulthood is not complete, and their minds can be formed and molded into the kind of men needed to become warfighters. Most every trait that would not be taught at home can be drilled into them; respect, hygiene, obedience, honor, etc. With few exceptions, that age of men can be turned into courageous, dutiful soldiers.

However, if that slice of our society is mostly a gaggle of pot-smoking, beer-drinking, brazier-snapping party punks, their lives can still be given purpose. They can be trained to PROTEST! Convince some products of our sniveling, ultra-liberal public education system that they can have meaning by protesting against "The Establishment" and you have a domestic fighting force that is mobilized at will (facilitated by "daddy's" cell phone plan).

Their job is to create chaos, and their trainers promise that all consequences will be handled by expert attorneys, so they suddenly become "courageous" enough to act out.

For most of these poorly parented punks, their first brush with consequences is a traffic ticket or getting fired from an entry-level job for not showing up on time. They certainly cannot put two and two together and understand the critical relations between Israel and the US. They cannot see through the lies in the so-called "news media."

They are adolescent brats, raised spending money they did not earn, driving a car they did not buy, going to a college they will not pay for, and having an attorney on speed dial.

Let's hope that these campus protestors can grow up to be something useful, like CONGRESSMEN!
