Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The children yearn for the mines, give them what they really want. Let's turn this into a 10 billion dollar profit.
Pre-mines. They spend a year in the mines as a learning experience ( unpaid internship) and then we send them off to school
First they need basic infantry training so they can defend the classrooms, the bus loops, and the auditoriums.
Soviet school curriculum actually had a little bit of that. Well, how to tell ranks, what to do in case of war (also fire alarm or any other emergency), first aid, disassembly and assembly of the AK rifle, orientation on terrain and basic survival skills, not sure about actually firing at targets - I wasn't alive back then.
In our school (I was born in 1996) there was literally one time where our class was taken to a shooting range, but it was more like a tour. The got to shoot a few rounds at targets, yes. The first aid, ranks and AK disassembly\assembly parts I do remember.
There were war-themed games ("Zarnitsa" etc) teaching coordination, subordination, orientation, and of course using radio (to communicate and to intercept the other team's communications). EDIT: That I only heard about.
The US and UK called it Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc.
Germany had the Hitler Youth.
I'm talking about the school program, not that.
