PURE is part of that. Carey has firsthand experience with PURE just as you have firsthand experience with WWASP. That Carey is critical of PURE does not mean she thinks WWASP is OK."
Actually, I don't believe PURE is a part of grabing at the hearts, minds and body's of American youth (or their parents) What I've read of PURE, they are in business for one purpose, to defame wwasps. Hey, look at it! There are TONS of other programs out there, but their agenda is against wwasp programs. They refer to programs where the kids have the same allegations of abuse - all kids that don't want to be where they are will say the same things, from what I've read. I don't really see where wwasp is attacking other programs?
I also don't see where SPOTS has any real knowledge of wwasp programs. It's all heresay and inuendos. BTW, if her granddaughter was being held captive at home, then are her parents being arrested?
Carey, on the other hand has first hand experience with both.

No, I don't think it's exactly like that. Whether or not PURE defames WWASP depends on your definition of the term "defame":
1 archaic : DISGRACE
2 : to harm the reputation of by libel or slander
3 archaic : ACCUSE
synonym see MALIGN
I think #2 is closest to the legal term of art, right? Whether or not what they say about WWASP is true is another matter. WWASP keeps on saying that all the critics are liars and all kids who complain are just being manipulative. How much sense does that make? No kid ever has a legitimate reason to complain? Does that magical rule reverse itselve at age 18? Upon becoming a parent? What? Please explain if you can?
It seems clear to me that PURE is using WWASP's bad reputation to garner business. But PURE did not invent WWASP's bad reputation. Neither did Tim Rogers or Tim Weiner.
A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit.
