What are we teaching our children when we support killing people and tearing up their country to make them practice the same kind of government, hold the same values, and have the same kind of economic system (capitalism) as ours? I find this tragic and immoral.

Human instinct will tell them to kill if they have to (self defense), but we shouldn't be teaching them to kill anybody.

defense is the only time to kill anyone. We haven't fought a conventional war for our own defense since WW2. Afghanistan is debatable. Iraq, Vietnam, and Korea definitely not.
