(60,010 posts)we did it to American Indians, in various forms. Stealing kids young enough to be "converted" was popular. In the Philippines our military shot every male over 10 and forced the younger kids to live in camps, attend American school there, dress like Americans,. etc. Many were then trained as local, pro-American soldiers to fight against the native rebels, many of whom were of course their relatives.
Filipinos were tortured, waterboarding was common. This was early 1900's.
almost seems like a genetic trait.

(3,439 posts)...is against the law, violated the constitution, a crime against humanity; his conscience.
He could resign stating he will not be a party to housing children separated from their parents, or family internment camps. Moral leadership is what is seriously lacking...what will the next order that Mattis will follow blindly... child labor camps, or worse abuse or maybe even death of children.

(7,584 posts)he must see the devil when he looks in the mirror... ..and must take a ton of sleeping pills to sleep. The military is suppose to be composed of our "finest, strongest" men...they have become instead a bunch of wimps. No courage, no heart, no soul, no conscience.
