13. What About The Brainwashing That Goes Down In The Military That Programs These Kids To Kill?.......
Fri Jan 13, 2012, 11:15 AM
Jan 2012

The military takes young men and women and reprograms them and makes them into killers. We then send them to war after they are taught to hate and kill. Then when a picture surfaces that illustrates what they have been reprogrammed and turned into - the very people that turned these young people into killers finds their behavior deplorable and turns on them.

It's no wonder that when these trained killers come home and get thrust back into society that they have PTSD. They are messed up for life and many wind up homeless; alcoholics; addicts; menaces to society and themselves. How many of these trained killers come back and commit suicide or kill their families or others?

Don't blame them - blame the monsters that changed them into these killers.

The pictures of the men 'peeing on the bodies of those they were trained to kill' depicts in a very real and vivid way the horrors and the despicable nature of war.

PEOPLE - don't blame these guys that are in the picture - blame those that put them into the situation that allowed them to even be in such a picture.

If the military and the U.S. don't want to be embarrassed by such pictures and such behavior of those that they trained and put into such a situation - stop training our kids to hate and kill - STOP THE WARS.
