FAHRENHEIT 9/11 -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |
Years later, I'm executive assistant to the president of the agency. Interesting. My mother used to tell me all the time that, "Why do you always go for the underdog?" It was because the underdog is who needed me. People that don't have anything, that's who I have to fight for. And that's who I have fought for my entire life. I started taking my children, and telling my children: "The military is a good option. I can't afford to have you go to college. I cannot pay your way. Financial aid will not help you." So I, as a mother, started teaching my children about the options that the military could do. They would take them around the world. They would see all the things that I, as a mother, could not let them see. It would pay for their education that I, as their mother and their father, could not pay for. Michael Moore: The military is a good option for kids in Flint. Lila Lipscomb, Executive Assistant, Career Alliance: The military is an excellent option for the people in the city of Flint. Michael Moore: How many of you have a friend or a family member in the service? Michael Moore: Anybody currently serving overseas? Boy: A brother of mine. Boy: My cousin. Boy: Yeah, cousin. Michael Moore: Where's your brother? Boy: Iraq. Boy: Germany.
