This reminds me of the Cadet Corps at practically every British Public School - complete with uniforms, guns, etc...whats this? they are trying to encouraging the next generation of army recruits? I hate the image of a child holding a weapon

Do you think that there's a connection?
There were guns in my Cadet Corps, but no girls...My daughter was in the Cadet Corps.. no guns at her school.
NIS, Nermein Ismail language school (via yellow pages).
At the end, they wrote that the weapons used were not real, and that they were specially designed for this video.
I think it's kind of appreciation for the army, that's all.
There were no guns or girls in the cadet corps at my high school, would have been nice if there were girls...There were guns in my Cadet Corps, but no girls...
I don't think they had any choice, you are right.I think it is more like propaganda for the army.
Did the children have any choice?

There are no rules for videography, no approval needed to videotape the kids other than the school's approval, the same thing with using the kids pictures on the websites.
I think the school got a good amount of money though, and enough advertisement for another couple of years.
It certainly was when I was a member... I'm not naive enough to believe it's changed from it's purpose of encouraging young people to join the British Armed Forces when they are old enough.The Cadet Corps in the Uk is voluntary and a great organisation for teenagers.
It is not an advert extolling the virtues of the armed forces in the UK.

I'm confused... is your point that the children in the video were made to appear against their will? By who? The Army? Or the school? Please clarify.It's voluntary.
My point is the children in the video have in my opinion been used by the army to sing their praises to the world. I wonder how many of those children volunteered for the video/

I see... I wish you the best of luck in finding the answer to your questions.I am questioning why and by whom the video was commissioned..
