We already have the capacity to kill. Don't be naive. Soldiers? You bring people like Angelo and Sarah to this school, and you are bringing in soldiers from a war with no sides and no commanders. And don't tell me about experience. Mine may be partly second-hand, but I've seen what happens to children who don't trust, who live in fear, who feel hunted and disempowered. I know what those children grow up to be because I have one in my head... hell, I don't have just one, I have three, but one stands out beyond the rest.

Every fucking episode where the They from out there cracks down on the Us in here brings one of these kids that much closer to turning out like him and that is precisely what I am trying to avoid. I can feel it in them, I can smell it on them, and we cannot afford to break trust with them. And if that means teaching them how to knock soda cans off of fence posts with a handgun, then by God, give them the fucking gun with one hand and gentle them with the other.
