I think that every kid everywhere should get a read on a book that is anti-war. And I think ROTC should be eliminated from schools. There is a one way curriculum now on school campuses, and it is a right wing agenda. If they showed blown up corpses and brains scattered about from munitions, maybe the kids could decide for themselves whether war was good or not, Now all they get is the flag and apple pie bullshit. Even when I was in Basic training they didn't show the horrors of war. War is a horrible state of affairs, and if enough kids figure that out, maybe when they grow up they'd be less likely to start one or go to fight one! Now all they get is pro-war bullshit. Plus the History books need to be straightened out to reflect the actual facts of war and all it's ramifications and the real reasons behind them. Maybe when the kids see that war is really about profit, they'd be less likely to fight in one!
