- When our children are 18, we send them off to other countries to try to kill people (theoretically, only the ones with the uniforms). But at what age do we tell them it's a wonderful thing to do? Joey's parents are a little pushy, so they start him off at age 6. Unhappily for them, Joey has annoying questions, like 'Couldn't we just make a deal? They won't kill us, and we won't kill them?'
- Six-year-old Joey wants to be a doctor when he grows up, but his parents explain that he has to be a soldier instead, and kill people. When Joey protests this dark future, they explain that we only kill people in other countries, and only the ones wearing uniforms. "What if they take the uniforms off?" Joey asks. Confused as to why he should grow up to kill people, Joey keeps asking more questions, as his parents doggedly explain the "logic" of war. When his father admits that it's very sad that so many innocent civilians also get killed, Joey asks, "So, it's *not* okay?" But his mother cheerily explains, "Of course it's okay - as long as we're *trying* to kill the ones with the uniforms. Will Joey's innocence prevail? Or will his parents' indoctrination finally wear him down?—theaudienceawards.com
