I think it's rather sad that our nation's young folks are so easy to manipulate. Perhaps this should be a wake-up call for us to repeal the 26th Amendment and bump the voting age back to 21. I mean, if they can be easily led around like lemmings by some tricky recruiter who knows what havoc they could bring to our election system once some devious politician realizes that their brains can be molded like putty.
FWIW, my recruiter lied to me. He told me my tools of war would be a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. I had visions of sado-masochistic torture sessions dancing in my head, but was sorely disappointed when all they gave me was a rifle and bayonet.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
