    Yes I agree. They call the teens kids as if they didn’t have cognitive reasoning. The main difference between a child and a teen is that they can think for them selves.

    If bombing people is what they think is correct, then they where either raised wrong when they where kids, or just brainwashed to think the evil way.

      People still operate in their material interests, the justification comes afterward. The “brainwashing” is more of a post-conclusion justification, a dehumanizing of the “enemy” to justify the economic interests of settler colonialism and maintaining an Imperialist Foothold for the American Empire.
