Building Teams
Young minds are quite easy to shape. International Terrorist recruiters know this and have an abundant source of young men and women to pick from. They use simple brain washing tactics to do this. The United States also has a huge source of young people at its colleges and universities with young open minds, open to both good or evil. The professors use this to help their views and promote their views of the world by imprinting on these minds. Religious groups are also a hot topic on campus and they are quite active recruiting new minds and new souls to their numbers. The US Marines Recruiter use the same basic psychological techniques as the college professors, religious organizations and cults. And like the others use this indoctrination in their shaping and team building, after all the Marines are a cult in a way, similar to a sports team or corporate sales force. This is a good thing, it allows them to fight, stick together as a team, as unit based on a blood pact. It works. The Marines also place within their ranks all the right things too such as integrity, honor and strength. This is the strength necessary to win. An American tradition is thus born and lives within the group and we as a nation are indebted to their integrity, honor and strength. They defend our country and are willing to die for the cause of freedom, which as our President has stated on numerous occasion is a just and noble cause. I hope everyone out there is understanding this. Our military troops are willing to die for the things we take for granted, are you? This is good. Now let us take the recruiters for international terrorists, Neo-Nazi Groups, Domestic upheaval political organizations and cultish religious groups; in those groups you may not have to give up your actual life in the sense of living and breathing, but you commit yourself to a life of another nature, one of complete devotion for another cause. One purported to be just and noble, as noble in fact as the national pride objective of freedom, but they are not. You see these other causes are against the notion that freedom is for the people to decide and we are given rights at birth of liberty and freedom. Thomas Jefferson would have backed me up on this comment. We as Americans in our society and as students at the universities where free thought is suppose to rein; have been completely put jeopardy. Those who build teams such as these have a responsibility to the rest of us to help the common good, not look to create havoc and chaos of our Republic. Those organizations, which strengthen us are good, those which tear down the fiber of our civilization through these brain washing techniques are wrong and evil. We must protect ourselves from such evil intended groups, which threaten to tear down all we are and all we have built. Think about it.
