"School of Assassins"
The School of the Americas (SOA) is a combat training school for Latin American soldiers, located at Fort Benning, Georgia. I think the US should not be able to operate such an organization, because thanks to this school, wherever its graduates returned to, their countries have been left with trails of blood and suffering. For example, in 1981, 767 people in El Salvador were murdured by the US trained Atlacaltl battalion during a counterinsurgency operation. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured, raped, assassinated, “disappeared,” massacred, and forced into refugee by those trained at the School of Assassins. This school has cost too many innocent lifes in different countries that it it makes me say that the US should not be able to have such a school.
