I am already catching some grief for the way I parent and do not expect that to change any time soon. I would like to be able to say look at such and such and tell if you see any parallels or that is not allowed for enemy combatants, why on earth is it okay for kids?

Not all countries abide by the Geneva Convention. Atarah's training wasn't so that they knew what to do with their POW's, it was to prepare for what might be done to them if they were captured. Especially in the ME, when you may be captured by any number of different factions, not necessarily gov't run. Make sense? I mean, I could ask my little brother if official documentation exists to prove that this is how they train troops, but I get the feeling it wouldn't be appropriate for him to link me to official gov't docs.
