Pentagon Creating A Database Of Students
needacoolnickname writes "The Washington Post is reporting that the Pentagon is working with a marketing firm to create a database of students ages 16 through college to help them identify recruits. A little chuckle from the Pentagon in the article: '...anyone can opt out of the system by providing detailed personal information that will be kept in a separate suppression file. That file will be matched with the full database regularly to ensure that those who do not wish to be contacted are not, according to the Pentagon.'"
16 through college. I am a recent graduate but I want to be tracked for recruitment. This is discrimination. It's unconstitutional!
Evolution or ID?
School studies YOU!
Officer: How many girlfriends have you had?
Candidate: None. I'm gay. A real faggot.
Officer: Nice try...your file says you are a confirmed hetero. Go pick up your uniform, maggot.

Given how much smarter and less tolerant Americans are nowadays compared to 40s, 60s, 70s...
From what I know about the past, it seems to me that ignorance and intolerance are doing just fine in modern day America...

They take great care of you, the pay is good, and the benefits are extraordinary and last long after you leave the service.

Second time today I've quoted this movie on slashdot. He's actually referring to joining the CIA but the sentiment is the same.

The Pentagon's statements added that anyone can "opt out" of the system by providing detailed personal information that will be kept in a separate "suppression file." This database will also be known as the "FBI list of unpatriotic potential terrorists". We'll be keeping on eye on you, kid!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
