Peled Is correct, occupation of the territory of others has to be constantly enforced. As a young man I served as a British soldier in Aden now part of the Yemen and I soon understood that the British Army needed to divide us from the people whose country we were occupying so we were told that the locals were "wogs" they were not people like us, they were different. If they and their children were hungry, well that was normal for wogs, it was not a matter that should concern us. When we gave them food from our supplies we were instructed not to continue doing this because the wogs were using the tin cans to make dum dum bullets to fire back at us. So we were to watch the children starve and do nothing to help. If that is not a process which corrupts young people's minds, then I do not know what would be. Fortunately for me, and for others with me, it had the opposite effect and made us question the military system we were involved in.
