My 17 year old nephew from Austin Texas was all filled with testosterone and wanted to enlist in the military ...

I put a piece of paper in front of him and said, "Sign it, this paper states that I (the military) can do anything I want to do to you. I can send you anywhere in the world, expose you to any toxic substance, radiate you, and use you for a Guinea pig if I choose. Sign this piece of paper and sign all your rights away, because when you join the military you sign all your rights as an individual away. They can do anything they want to you, including rape, and there is NOTHING you can do about any of it" ...

He looked at me in utter disbelief ....

Happy to say my nephew lives in San Luis Obispo today and he has NEVER been enlisted in the military ...
