Those are kids coming from poorer families, have limited education, and even those that have had trouble with the law. This isn't a new concept. But now when someone like Rosie bring up this obvious truth, it gets spun into "Rosie is calling the troops poor, stupid and evil".
Which is exactly the kind of spinning that she didn't want to play anymore in the first clip of this thread.
Being an outspoken person today and having opinions are not good characteristic to have these days. Especially if you are a woman.
