:facepalm: what is an army if its not just following direction from the general / leader etc. Do you think the 17 year old kids in Vietnam believed in the politics involved, or because their CO told them to? Do you think they joined the marines to honour their country or to go fighting?
Are those kids in Africa fighting for their country or freedom? or tell me are they brainwashed into thinking that its the right thing to do by a crazed leader?
Do you think the communist leaders groom these kids into believing the country is everything and they should give their lives for it in order to protect it? They all teach the youth the same thing, patriotism, its just some leaders have bad agendas. so yes the Obama youth is the same as the hitler youth movement, but the leaders have different agendas.
Oh, and is this familiar to you?
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. long before Obama, long before hitler. I think your getting mistaken with what point you are making
