By Any Means Necessary

Jessica was not about to let anything stop her from getting her further education. She became ever more focused on learning and getting a better education. So soon, Jessica spoke to an army recruiter with the consent of her family. This happened in the year 2000 when Jessica was still a 17 year old. She was still flooded with her high school studies at that particular time and was in no way capable of joining the military yet. Her dear mother spoke about the recruiter saying that he “did not lie to the kids. He said there was always the possibility of war in the future.” She admitted that “at that time it was before September 11, and there was no terrorism, so we were like, ‘that would never happen to me.’”’
