The days are gone when just about anyone could walk into a recruiters office and sign up for the military - whether it be to help pay for college or get themselves straightened out for some personal issue they have or trouble with the law. The Pentagon estimates that only about 25% of applicants are now qualified. “Five years ago, if a kid had gotten caught with a (marijuana) joint in his car, that person would be pretty much a shoo-in” to enlist under a waiver, states Army recruiter Terrence Hoard. “Now you’re not authorized.” At the same time we are winding down our military we are building up a huge military force here in the homeland. DHS is now busting people in flea markets, no less than 48 federal agencies have paramilitary forces and war machines are on our streets. Of course, Obama promised us all this. Its called hiding in plain view: We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that weve set. Weve got to have a civilian national security force thats just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. Doesnt seem like were too far away from the time when this federal build up of arms will find use on citizens. Wake Up America!
