When I was in primary education (K-12) i learned that war helped improve technology. I learned from the invention of the airplane to the invention of the atom-bomb that as more wars have gone by that technology has developed more. From the space race, to the hydrogen bomb, to you name it. I was thinking that rather than just teach people about war that we should also teach kids the lessons about war. Teach kids why people lost a war. Why the war was just or unjust and let them make up their mind about if a war is necessary or not. I wouldn't recommend brainwashing kids with ideology about wars, but, I would just like to teach kids to be critical of the Government, of any administration, so they aren't blinded by ideological differences. I think this is a good idea. What about you? Wouldn't you rather kids be critical of Governments making war? I've seen kids be in awe of bombs and weapons. I want that to change.
