Discuss MGySgt Edward S. Renner USMC's answer to: How to help a teenager enter the military

 The first thing most young people need is to get a handle on life.  Military service is the ideal vehicle: not only will we give the new recruit that vital discipline to succeed in life, but we will also instill the most precious social skill that exists: leadership.  That will liberate young people from the wiles of atheists, leftists, etc. 

First, we will get the young person in physical shape, which adds greatly to their confidence.  In the process we will help them overcome all personal obstacles such as fear or self doubt.

Next, we will give the young person vital technical expertise on state of the art systems that the civilian market simply cannot handle.  That makes it easy to transition into the much simpler products that less demanding civilians use.  Civilian life can be boring after the military but it can also feel good to slack off for awhile, now and then, anticipating the next adventure.

Then, a wonderful change takes place.  Just as a pupa metamorphoses into a butterfly, so does a slack civilian kid metamorphose into an indestructible Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Coasty. 

After that, there are simply no limits save only that we do what is right and proper.  That may terrify leftists but that is why Marines can make a whole crowd of leftists wither in their very presence. 

Is it any wonder why losers always chant sour grapes?
