hey phenom, sorry to burst you're bubble. but those are called "The Explorers". It's a private organization that trains kids who are interested in joining civilian police forces. It's completely voluntary, and guess what?? That type of club has been around for around 20-something years. so it's not Obama's Youth Army, Obama didn't create it. it's a great program for kids who really can't afford to have their own guns, and practice at gun ranges, to start getting a feel for hand-helds, rifles, shotguns, etc. get in shooting practice, practice walking in formations, and get basic learning of law enforcement techniques while keeping them out of trouble. wuv you....
