Obama's Civilian Security Force

Who would have guessed that it would be the Scouts? Among the useful things they are taught...
In a simulation here of a raid on a marijuana field, several Explorers were instructed on how to quiet an obstreperous lookout.

“Put him on his face and put a knee in his back,” a Border Patrol agent explained. “I guarantee that he’ll shut up.”
Not the same as getting a merit badge in lifesaving.

What makes this an issue?
On two separate occasions in the past year, Barack Obama expressed a desire to create a "civilian national security force".
Like the military, armed forces are usually composed of young men ... sort of like the Scouts.
Sort of like these youths Who went hiking and practiced all kinds of healthy games.

These scouts look a little more formidable

... if that pellet gun ever turns into an M16 he'll be ready.

Lest you think that this is the ranting of some right wing kook, we have the imprimatur of the NY Times, the high church of the establishment. Scouts Train to Fight Terrorists, and More
The scouting life under an Obama Administration:
Their hearts pounding, Explorers moved down alleys where there were hidden paper targets of people pointing guns, and made split-second decisions about when to shoot. In rescuing hostages from a bus taken over by terrorists, a baby-faced young girl screamed, “Separate your feet!” as she moved to handcuff her suspect.
