Prelude: A Letter
Dear Mr. President,
It has come to my attention that the uprising in the youth has been exacerbating recently, the likes of which has never been seen since the Youth Revolution of 2007. Unless we wish to witness a repeat of the massacre that has occurred twenty years ago, I suggest we take prompt action. In the attached envelope is an outline of my proposition, the BR Act. It was first created in Japan in the 1960s with the intention of keeping their youth in line. There was, as with all new policies, some initial resilience, but it soon died down and the youth population became more submissive. Unfortunately, there has traditionally been a rise in terrorism against the government in question once the policy is put into place, but it is usually easy to extinguish. A list of all terrorist groups against the BR Act, most of which were past winners of the BR Act, has been provided to you. There has only been one significant case, one Mr. Nanahara, and all his crimes and information are included in the file. There is no need to worry, however, as Mr. Nanahara had been executed in 2025.
There is, of course, a risk of political strike, but once the population sees the change they will thank us. It is up to you to decide whether or not you want another war on your hands. Sometimes innocent people have to be sacrificed in order to protect the masses. All other countries that have adopted this plan have found it to be of great aid, and it is about time America joined in. I will gladly volunteer to be the runner of the Program in its first year, should you decide to implement this policy. I urge you, Mr. President, to do something before it is too late.
Yours sincerely,
Secretary of Defense,
Ms. Dona Carrillo
