Morally Bankrupt Leaders succeed in corrupting American's youth

Congratulations. You've managed to twist your young into soulless monsters such as yourselves.

You must be so proud. It's a massive step backwards, but that's your ultimate goal, now isn't it?

Americans’ opinions on torture seem to have fractured, and largely on generational lines. A new study by the American Red Cross obtained exclusively by The Daily Beast found that a surprising majority—almost 60 percent—of American teenagers thought things like water-boarding or sleep deprivation are sometimes acceptable. More than half also approved of killing captured enemies in cases where the enemy had killed Americans. When asked about the reverse, 41 percent thought it was permissible for American troops to be tortured overseas. In all cases, young people showed themselves to be significantly more in favor of torture than older adults.

It is repulsive to think that some in power actually thought is was something that should be up for debate. If this belief holds as these teenagers grow up, the problem will only grow as the century progresses and they obtain positions of power.

If it become policy, the West deserves everything it gets*.
