[quote=Anonymous]I just wanted to add that, there are many situations, especially in the case of people who are armed and have power over others, where there are horrible abuses. Think back to Abu Gharib and the torture that went on there. However, I don't think many people would say it was wrong for a 4 year old to say that they wanted to be a soldier in the aftermath. I agree that we are over-policed and over-militarized, and that there's a lot of abuse in both. But that doesn't mean we don't need some military and some law enforcement. It is ok for kids to want to go into those fields, we need good, reasonable, ethical people to go into both fields.[/quote]
