The Universal Military Training and Service Act of 2001, HR 3598, was
introduced in the House on 12/20/01. Did you hear about it? Me neither
- except on Indymedia.

" (a) INSTRUCTION AS PART OF MILITARY TRAINING- As part of the basic military training and education provided under this Act, the Secretary concerned shall include instruction in physical fitness, international relations, military tactics, homeland security, United States and world history, vocational training, and such other topics as the Secretary considers appropriate."
Hmmm i wonder what the US military schools will teach as their interpretation of "international relations" or "homeland security" - not sure how they'll look at " United States and world history" either - there are still people in the US military who believe they 'won' in Vietnam...
