Teaching kids war is good in any case. Teaching kids that war is good is bad.
Comment on In Militarizing Push, Russian School Children To Build Drones
drmoose@lemmy.world 1 day agoThats what soviets did too. There were classes for gun assembly and shooting practice and its not a new thing.
I don’t think military skill prep is a bad thing for small countries but coming from current ruzi administration is certainly is a bit on the nose. As in “training kids to terrorize country they invaded with semi-autonomous remote weapons” just doesn’t ring the same as “military prep in case of invasion”

Yeah tbh I agree with you. These lessons should be left for adults no matter how you look at this issue.

Are we forgetting that the US has JROTC in schools? Literally training kids for the military…

Yes and they literally have a drone competition. It’s the exact same thing as russia.
