Yet another attempt from the military to hijack & trick our children...

Yet another attempt from the military to hijack & trick our children...

Please read and inform:

My 17.5 year old is currently looking for a part-time job while he attends school. A new Kohl's Department store is opening up in our very ticky-tacky, upper-middle class suburban neighborhood. (In this area, that is news). My son decided to apply for a part-time position there through snagajob.com. Well, he was NOT able to apply because there is this little box at the bottom of the online application (we were informed we could ONLY apply online), that is checked off and will not allow you to uncheck it (ONLY if you claim to be anything than 'white'...my son claimed white AND Latino)...this box, that can not be unchecked if minority states: "You may be able to receive up to $22,000 just for signing on with the US Army. Please have a US Army Recruiter contact me with information about how I can become Army Strong. By requesting more information from the US Army or Army Reserve, you are not applying to or enlisting in the Army."

We tried deleting our info and reapplying but the cookies kept most of the info intact. I deleted my cookies and reapplied and stated 'white' under race/nationality/ethnicity ONLY, and WAS ABLE to uncheck this box!

We tried to apply via Kohl's website directly but they did not have any part-time postings for this area, whereas they did have many under snagajob.com.

We also tried to contact Kohl's directly regarding this, but again, a wild-goose chase.

The snagajob.com link I am referring to is: http://www.snagajob.com/job-seeker/registration/contact-information.aspx

I searched for a way to contact them and basically let them hear what I thought of their sneaky, little, disgusting box, but did not find a contact (only a maze of wild-goose chases).

The military/government (now one-in-the-same), is trying every sneaky possible way to enlist our children to go kill and get killed so that our 'government' can steal other countries' resources. We NEED to inform young people about this and make them aware of these dangerous, little, sneaky boxes and fine prints NOW.

I have seen college scholarship applications with little boxes like these claiming that if you do NOT enlist, you will NOT be considered for the scholarship or any other (WTF???!!!).

How disgusting can what is left of America get?!!! (This is a rhetorical question, I REALLY do NOT want to know the answer to this).

Thank you for your time,
Marilyn
