The school of the Americas is located in Fort Benning, GA. The purpose of the school is to train militaristic strategies to it's students/ solders. Spanish speaking Latin American trainees are brought here to be more familiarized with United States militaristic strategies. The students are there in order to help their countries national defenses and infrastructures. Controversies in the early 1990's have brought about accusations of graduated students committing human rights violations in their countries. One case in El Salvador, "48 out of 69 Salvadoran military members cited in the U.N. Truth Commission's report on El Salvador for involvement in human rights violations (including 19 of 27 military members implicated in the 1989 murder of six Jesuit priests)." After all The School is located in US and what are we supposed to think? We thought them all those techniques and now they are over people for their own good.
