Another american army-pusher


I hate the fact that when they have a wild teen on the show, they think sending them to boot camp will change them. How will loads of angry military men shouting in your face about smoking all day curb you bad behaviour?

If anything, the child will come back more angry at all the aggresion they have suffered. Anyway, isnt it hypocritical that a child who hits their parents or whatever is sent away to a camp where they are taught by men who generally shoot people for a living?

The army is generally a bad example for children, and should not be held up as a way to change the aggresive nature of a child by inflicting more anger upon them. They should definitely not be applauded by an audience..

Teen boot camps are a horrible idea, and the irony is that the drill instructor, Sargeant Julu, was arrested for going AWOL and served time in Leavenworth in 2001. He's a hypocrite at best
