Response #5 to Empire of Death and the Plague of Civic Violence

In Empire of Death and the Plague of Civic Violence the author Hamamoto categorized different kinds/ types of murder and killing in the human society. The killing and murder could be done by the war, system and policies of injustice, discrimination, extreme bias and judgement, which bring to the people physical and mental constraints and pain. Regarding "Race Murder" it states that in the latter half of the 20th century, it was the race wars waged against yellow people first in Korea and then in Southeast Asia. When I read here my brain was just a blank because in my high school's history class( I went to high school in Taiwan), I didn't learn of any news about it. Regarding "A Few Good Men," it reminded me of the movie "Soldier" in 1998. The movie described how the kids can be trained as killer machines. The main character was one of the "child soldier," but once when he realized he was not treated as a human being but a killer machine, which can be dumped as he out of the "value," he has changed his mind and slightly accepting emotion.


Q: Kid soldiers are really common in Middle East and Africa countries, how can the U.S. help the kids out while not killing the people there?
