Boy Scouts Learn to Fight Terrorists- Great Articles and Pics


I am sure this will cause some controversy. Over at the New Republic the headline is Have The Boy Scouts Of America Gone Completely Berserk? LOL

I have to admit though if I was an boy I would be first in line. Looks like fun

See from the NYT Scouts Train to Fight Terrorists, and More
I love this quote
In a simulation here of a raid on a marijuana field, several Explorers were instructed on how to quiet an obstreperous lookout.
“Put him on his face and put a knee in his back,” a Border Patrol agent explained. “I guarantee that he’ll shut up

Cue Mark Shea in 5 minutes talking about torture :)

Man, I'd have loved this growing up...

...but I never got the chance growing up in the far too politically correct 1990's with terrorism as a vague threat (an English teacher actually laughed at the notion of terrorists attacking our country during my Senior year sometime in early 2000).

Well, at least I got to do my part when I grew up and pursued my dream of serving in the military!
