My daughters final exam this semester in American History was to explain how The USA caused 9/11. This is a child that was in AFJROTC all 3 years of high school, and wanted to join the AF. After many conversations with my daughter about the true causes of 9/11, (I home schooled), I told her to just repeat what her Professor had said in class. Sad, but in doing so she made an A in the class.
Yeh, I had my share of “parrot the teacher” papers during the Clinton years. If she still wants to go AF, encourage her to do so. It’s a damn sight better than going to college, and people who go into the service come out much better equipped to handle their careers and so forth (assuming the service doesn’t become their career).
