Homeland Security Trains Scouts To Fight Terrorism
Terrorist described as "disgruntled Iraq war veteran"
in role play

The Department of Homeland Security is training teenage scouts
how to conduct armed raids on terrorists and drug dealers.
In a program which officials have described as
"about being a true-blooded American", boys and girls
as young as fourteen are being put through their paces by DHS
Border Patrol agents.
The New
York Times Reports:
The Explorers program, a coeducational affiliate
of the Boy Scouts of America that began 60 years ago, is training
thousands of young people in skills used to confront terrorism,
illegal immigration and escalating border violence —
an intense ratcheting up of one of the group’s longtime
missions to prepare youths for more traditional jobs as police
officers and firefighters.
[...]
The training, which leaders say is not intended
to be applied outside the simulated Explorer setting, can
involve chasing down illegal border crossers as well as more
dangerous situations that include facing down terrorists and
taking out “active shooters,” like those who bring
gunfire and death to college campuses.
Some youngsters have described the program as
enjoyable due to the fact that they get to shoot guns and learn
about discipline.
Eyebrows will be raised over the nature of the
role play situation however, due to the fact that in at least
one instance the "terrorist" to be neutralized was
described as a "disgruntled Iraq war veteran".

“Put him on his face and put a knee in
his back,” a Border Patrol agent explained. “I
guarantee that he’ll shut up.”
Given recent concerns over the DHS
definition of "right wing extremists"
and the agency's penchant to affiliate veterans, gun owners,
Ron Paul supporters and even those who question the mainstream
media with terrorists, one wonders exactly who the boy scouts
are being trained to target.
The Explorer program also touches close to home
with recent concerns regarding President Barack Obama’s
promised
“civilian national security force”.
“Our end goal is to create more agents,”
said April McKee, a senior Border Patrol agent and mentor at
the session.
