[Bird of Prey]

GP,


Good points all, except I was a straight "A" student and never in trouble with the law. I did not do a stint in the military, though sometimes I wish I had.
I agree that for kids already "heading down the wrong path" 6-8 weeks without follow up would be a waste of time. This program however would encompass all , not just inner city kids or troubled teens. For an awful lot of boys it would be the only chance they get to learn a little about what it means to be a man. For others they might pick up some pointers on Self discipline.
No, it probably won't do much for the hardcore gangbanger that is already indoctrinated in the ways of violence. But it might show an alternative toi the kid that thinks he has no other options.
SOme of these kids will do their own follow up programs, go on to college, tech schools or a real stint in the Army.
This would not be the solution to all of the problems plaguing our society today, but it would go a long way towards making things better.
After all, at least they would know the difference between the right way and the wrong way. Too many kids today have no clue.
