Explaining the military to young kids?

[Hottub]

MsTub is the Den Leader for our Tiger Cubs in Troop 139. "Hoorah!"

Friday, Dec. 5th I have to take over the meeting for her.
I need to discuss the importance of the military to our nation. To a group of 1st graders!!
Then we are going to write letters to send to our troops in the Middle East.

I wanted to open with;
God was here before us. So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to The Cub Scouts of America!. Do you ladies understand?

Too much?

Seriously. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

[SatCam]

just take pictures of them naked and say the soldiers will die if you dont


atleast that's what my den leader did

[mikeyboy]

Tell them that, as Cub Scouts, they are already part of the military and that they'll be shipped out for a two year tour right before Christmas.

[drjoek]

Tell them that their days of finger banging MaryJane Rottoncrotch through her pretty pink panties are over. Semper Fi.

[UnclePaul]

Tell them guys in the military get to use all sorts of cool guns, just like the one in my pocket. Want to give the trigger a squeeze? a-heh a-heh a-heh a-heh

[Hottub]

Thanks for the input, Joker Man.

I thought aboot this angle.

The Boy Scout oath says


On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

You boys do this for a few hours a week, and the occasional overnight, or competition.
Our soldiers choose to do this for us for months or years at a time. And it's not just having to hike 5 miles or poop outdoors, then you are home again on Sunday.
Our soldiers face a lot of dangers to keep America safe.

Just pull up a seat for them next the the ole computer and show them how to lock some threads and put some hayseeds on vaction. That should explain military might in action.

Mess with the best, die like the rest.

I would try and tell them that the military is there to protect us and our interests as a nation so that we can always be free. and that cub scouts and boy scouts are like an unaffiliated domestic helpers to the military, and they can act as eyes and ears (scouts) and thats why they are trained as they are.

No way Tub. You can't let them live their whole lives soft. Find a crier and make an example of him. God Bless the United Fucking States of America.

[ahhdurr]

Tell them it's part of human nature to be a scumbag and that the Enlightenment has helped produce some of the finest political thought that anyone has ever attempted to implement on earth and that some states and nations never had an enlightenment. They never gave thought to experimenting with social intstitutions that would enable the better parts of human nature to shine, as the United States of America has.

That these misguided cocknoses cannot be reasoned with. They would, if they could, skulk through our streets, rape children and cut our throats and must ulitmately be wiped from the earth in an attempt to procure ever more resources for the promotion of above mentioned goodness and liberty.

Can I get a flag and an eagle soaring? Can I get a wolf shirt? Can I get an amen?

[A.J.]

"God has a hard-on for our military. Because they kill everything they see. They keep Heaven full of fresh souls."

[Stankfoot]

"Kill them all, let God sort them out"

[razorboy]

Let them know that there are plenty of "Cub Scouts" in the military, only they aren't allowed to announce it.

[reillyluck]

pass a joint around and discuss the way things used to be.

[reillyluck]

maybe invite blowhard to your house.

[Marc with a c]

the most important thing is to make sure you don't have boy scout balls in your mouth when you start explaining it.

[Don Stugots]

God damn this is thread is loaded with the funny. Much like tub's pants will be loaded for the troop.

tell them: there was a santa clause but the terrorists killed him. Our troops are getting revenge.

I think that's a good way to explain it. You don't have to go all R. Lee Ermey on them ... they're 6 and 7 year-olds for chrissakes!

Let them ask questions and if you don't know say so ... or go to one of those "for parents" recruitment websites to see if you can get simple answers there to prepare yourself for questions the kids may ask that you might feel uncomfortable answering.

That is actually the motto of a number of cub scout leaders.

[ahhdurr]

God hates weirdos who speak funny - so we kill them for him.

That explains the Civil War!

That explains the Civil War!

oh I had a joke but it sucked.

frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrunkissss!

[skyscraper]

the hard part will be explaining what a reach-around is.

[boosterp]

You get to travel to other countries and fuck foreign women and drink foreign beer.

Or....

Explain it your way, but mine is better. I think recruiters should start to use this ploy to draw in new recruits.

Well put sir. This is pretty much the direction I was heading. Any skills I learned as a scout have stayed with me and have helped me through many challenges in life.

My scoutmaster was a former marine. We were taught from the start that we were a "jr version" of the military. On Memorial day and Veterans day we would spend hours placing flags on the graves of veterans. When we were older we were given addresses near our homes of older vets (or their widows) to shovel snow or rake leaves.

Set up a trip to the local Legion Hall or VFW, or get a guest speaker. Those guys can explain it better than most.

Being a scout leader takes a lot of work, Mr and Mrs Tub rule!

Just tell them about the town were you were born. There was a man who sailed to sea. And he told you of his life in the land of submarines. They all lived in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine. They all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

.........aaaaaaaaaaaaand so forth.
