I say BULLSHIT. I am not advocating for the US to go in and right every wrong in the world. But I am advocating for our children to learn about the world around them, and if things like this get them asking questions, I don't see it as a bad thing.

Great post Afchic!! And when our children learn to question and seek knowledge, sometimes they do great things like serve their country!
