&lt;p&gt;We need to monitor all spending and misuse of taxpayers&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hard earn money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, I strongly recommend that we start getting our military&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;involved in every school district in order to start recruiting&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;new candidates for special forces. Every high school needs to&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;offer a career in the military instead of limiting our schools&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to only certain courses and certain careers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We need to do more to get younger kids off the streets and in our&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;military immediately. Lets face it, most kids have nothing to do&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;during the summer months, therefore why not set up a program where&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;young men in high school can go in and train to be a Navy Seal?&lt;/p&gt;
