Short Story Idea 06 27 2018
What if instead of there being Army Recruiting at your High School, Colleges and in offices in your City there was "Farming Corps" recruiting?
Whereby the "Farming Corps" recruited young people to work on farms?
Would you trust them?
If you read your Bible you know that there was a scheme to enslave those who worked in Egypt!
Also there have been farms that have taken in welfare recipients, knocked them over the head and killed them and buried them while still collecting their social security checks!
Also quite common in low skilled labor is the Company Sore. Whereby employees on farms or Coal Mines have to pay inflated prices for food at the Company Store and end up not making anything for their labor and likely going into debt too!
Now compare that to military service whereby you might lose a limb but will be allowed to retire comfortably (?) on disability?
That is if they don't get you addicted to some type of drug or alcohol while you are in the service?
What does it add up to?
