Boy Scouts Paramilitary

While the rightwing nuts whine about supposed Liberal or Socialist youth indoctrination camps...

The Explorers program, a coeducational affiliate of the Boy Scouts of America, is training kids in military skills to be used against "terrorism" and illegal immigration!
The training includes chasing down border crossers and "taking out" shooters.


“Put him on his face and put a knee in his back,” a Border Patrol agent explained. “I guarantee that he’ll shut up.”

“I like shooting them,” Cathy said. “I like the sound they make. It gets me excited.”

In a competition, one role-player wore traditional Arab dress. “If we’re looking at 9/11 and what a Middle Eastern terrorist would be like,” Deputy Lowenthal said, “then maybe your role-player would look like that. I don’t know, would you call that politically incorrect?”

The Homeland Security Department, have helped shape the program’s focus and see it as preparing the Explorers as potential employees.
