School of the Americas
The School of the Americas (SOA) was a place where soldiers from Latin America were trained to fight in their home countries. It was a school that was owned by the United States, and it was located in Georgia.
The United States wanted to help these soldiers learn how to fight better so that they could protect their countries from enemies. They taught these soldiers important skills like how to use weapons and how to plan and carry out military strategies.
However, the SOA has been criticized for training some of the soldiers who have committed human rights violations and have abused their power in their home countries. Some people think that the training has made these soldiers more likely to commit these crimes.
In response to these criticisms, the United States government closed the SOA in 2001. However, some people still believe that the United States is involved in training soldiers in other countries and that these soldiers may still commit human rights violations.
