he's sugar coating all this garbage--in israel they dont have you join the military without training in weapons etc.
its military bootcamp folks, look beyond the brainwashing language.
im really blown away people on this forum are trying to defend this just because it comes from obama's camp.
ask yourself if youd like to be FORCED to learn how to shoot weapons, truly the brainwashing in this country is all pervasive. wow.

If this was an idea of the Bush administration it wouldn't change a thing for me. I think this is a good idea, as long as it's VOLUNTARY. Now I know that's not what they're saying but its a proposal and will never pass in it's current form if it ever does at all.
If it was COMPULSORY I'd totally be against it- and yeah I know that's what the proposal says. I'm defending the general civil defense training idea, not this specific proposal to clarify.
And Clark, I DO understand what you're saying. It doesn't say weapons training but it doesn't say bootcamp either. If there was a significant physical aspect to this training you can bet that a good percentage of Americans wouldn't cut it. And this isn't MILITARY training, it's CIVIL. That's what the National Guard are for.
But I think we're debating two different points so I guess it doesn't really matter.
EDIT- BTW I TOTALLY agree with ChooseYourLifeNow that:
