I have seen a country where school children are militarized and
sing political songs in unison!  I agree that this type of 
indoctrination is awful, it can distort a child's view of the
world.  What should we do about this?

Perhaps we should be working to change all these governments; but
you might say, what right do we have to interfere in a foreign
government?

The government I am thinking of isn't foreign.  Ever heard of
Cub Scouts/Boy Scouts?  "God Bless America"?  The Pledge of
allegiance?

Maybe they'll want one of your women to experiment on, perhaps
I shall take this one to them!
