Anti-SOA

The United States should not be able to operate such an organization and train people in the practice of the coup d'etat because the SOA, frequently dubbed the “School of Assassins,” has left a trail of blood and suffering in every country where its graduates have returned. Well over its 59 years, the SOA has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency techniques, sniper training, commando and psychological warfare, military intelligence and interrogation tactics. At the same time they have a lot of victims and it also needs replacement. SOA has a lot of violence that's another reason why the United States should not be able to operate such an organization. An example of violence is when On February 21-22, 2005, eight members of the San Jose de Apartado Peace Community in Uraba, Colombia were brutally massacred. Witnesses identified the killers as members of the Colombian military's 17th Brigade, commanded by an SOA graduate. Also few rich and powerful in the US and their cohorts in Latin America. Horrible human rights record, damage critical bio-diversity in the Amazon basin, and more. Those are all the reasons why the United States should not be able to operate such an organization.
