While parents want to see their children succeed, I’d rather my child be healthy and free of mind and body altering substances given to them by of all people, a doctor – someone who should be promoting health, not worrying about the percentage of money he’ll get once you take that prescription to the pharmacy.

Young men thought themselves immortal, laughed off death, and never made it to their thirties (Staples 195). Grossman adds a daunting truth to how violent desensitization and brutalization endured by a soldier is laced with social media and passed to our children (Grossman 499).
