[MaidenScotland]

Can anyone make out the badge on the school uniforms?

This reminds me of the Cadet Corps at practically every British Public School - complete with uniforms, guns, etc...

Do you think that there's a connection?

My daughter was in the Cadet Corps.. no guns at her school.

There were guns in my Cadet Corps, but no girls...

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.

I think it is more like propaganda for the army.

Did the children have any choice?

There were no guns or girls in the cadet corps at my high school, would have been nice if there were girls...

I don't think they had any choice, you are right.

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.

The weapons may be pretend guns but at 1:10 a child lies down on the ground under a moving army vehicle which is VERY real. What were they thinking

It's the sort of advert that would put me off putting any child of mine in a school.

IMO this is nothing but propaganda from the army.

Ask yourself why they didn't use a state school?

My CCF (Combined Cadet Force) certainly had guns

I shot with:-

.22 live and air,
.303 rifles (Marksman of the Year),
SMG (Sub machine gun)
9mm Browing Pistol
GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun)
SLR (Self Loading Rifle)
and a 105mm Field Gun.

I learnt respect for the power and learnt how to treat them carefully.

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.

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.

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'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.

I am questioning why and by whom the video was commissioned..

I see... I wish you the best of luck in finding the answer to your questions.

Oh come on people, this is Egypt after all, if you asked any young boys if they wanted to dress up like a soldier and run around with (toy) guns, how many would refuse I wonder!!!! Have you never seen the youngsters running around the streets with their guns playing? This isn't the UK where due to health and safety, concerns of security and political correctness have taken away the pleasure of the young children who are no longer able to play "cowboys and indians' or "soldiers and army' anymore.
As for the children in the school.... saluting the flag, singing the national flag and practising patriotism is an everyday part of their school life, in my opinion far better to teach them to love their country than to be teaching them to hate the police and f*** the army which is being instructed in some schools!!!!
