Honestly this is more insidious than the brain washing that went on in the Hitler Youth. This has got to be what the Jews in the ghettos were seeing before ever

Honestly this is more insidious than the brain washing that went on in the Hitler Youth. This has got to be what the Jews in the ghettos were seeing before everyone found out who they were to be used on.

I don't really see how this is vastly different to the armored trucks used by banks and security services for decades?

  Its a tank. At school. Where the children are suspended for nibbling a pop-tart into the shape of a pistol.

      To be fair, an MRAP is quite a step above armored car—including being huge, heavy, fuel-hungry, and designed for use in war zones. And MRAP use was somewhat controversial even in Iraq, where they were designed to be used: https://web.archive.org/web/20070718130937/http://www.defensetech.org/archives/003798.html https://web.archive.org/web/20070718130937/http://www.defens...

        Armoured vans used by banks are highly dangerous on the roads, so are just regular armoured cars. Putting a MRAP into the hands of people who do not routinely drive them is just gross negligence. If the drive hits anything at road speeds and they're killing it. This is not a vehicle that should be put anywhere near children, it's just negligent.
