The education system is falling apart. Our children are overwhelmed by violence. They have already seen too much. Schools are no longer teaching.

My sentiments are that we have already lost this generation. Why don't we just give up? They are all disrespectful little brats that have no decency. They don't respect there elders. Hell, they don't even have any respect for themselves. No one bothered to teach them that. Television did a bad job raising this generation.  So, let's just stop it now. Start over. Clean slate.  We're already on our way to ridding ourselves of the older portion of the TV generation. Right?  We did find them a war after all.  They have something to do and hopefully we will reduce our numbers in population. 

The ungrateful brats wanted to go to college?  What a laugh. Sure, college we'll let you go. But not for free.  There were the few that thought it over and decided student loans were not the answer. The military. That's it. The military is the answer to everything. Hell, by then no one even remembered Veitnam. There was one paragraph in my high school American History class. One paragraph 20 years later.  One paragraph. My teacher had only to say that it wasn't considered a WAR.  We never declared war.  He was a smart man. He taught me so much about history. He made me president of the history club. He taught us about the realities of the civil war and the devastation of WWII.  He lived through the Vietnam war.  He saw his friends leave and never come back. He saw a nation pull apart at the very seems that held it together. Democracy was never the same; america was never the same.  He said nothing; it wasn't a war. It wasn't discussed; it was too painful. WHY DIDN'T HE TELL US? 

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL US? WHERE WERE YOU? OUR MOTHERS AND FATHERS PASSING ON CIVLIZATION, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US? WHY? MY TEARS ARE HOT WITH ANGER AND FRUSTRATION THAT COME FROM YOU! WHY DID YOU SELL US TO THE CORPORATIONS? WHY DID YOU LIE? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US IT WOULD HURT? YOU KISSED BOOBOOS AND MENDED OUCHIES, BUT YOU NEVER TOLD US THAT WAR WOULD HURT? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? TURN OFF THE TV AND TELL ME THAT WAR HURTS!  TELL ME THAT NO ONE GETS OUR ALIVE! NO ONE IS THE SAME! TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING POETIC ABOUT DYING FOR MONEY! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME????

No one told us anything. We learned quietly, stupidly. I say we skip the formalities. The hell with the next generation--even more spoiled than us. They will never get it either. I don't want to tell them and maybe my friends won't come back in body bags if we send our children.

I propose that we just eliminate the wasted years of high school--even junior high, 6th grade education is just fine. The dumber the better here in the ole US of A!  So, upon the event of their 13th birthday, we send them off.  They are growing and failry sturdy at that age. They have been in the education system long enough not to question anything. To follow orders without thinking or analyzing. So, let's just send them to war. 

Don't worry feminists...it is your time to shine. Girls, along with boys will get to experience the glory of war.  They will be up on the front lines battling for our rights, our freedom.  Protecting what is ours! 

Hell, with the National Guard generation and the upcoming unnamed generation, we might as well start a new war. Let's pick a fight. Who's been bullying us?  What can we get from them?  Canada has nice ice skates.  Kid like to ice skate.  What do you say?  Oh, or what about Australia, they have so much untapped land to mess with. Sound like fun, kids?

Brandi, this is very powerful, thanks for sharing. I taught in Ohio's public schools in the 1980's and dealt with most everything short of gunfire. A middle-school student was shot in the head in a building where I had taught previously. I can only imagine what its like now. Kids are certainly getting violent messages from Bu$hco on down. I grieve for us all.
