Conventional warfare and United States military involvement in Latin America: early adolescents' views.
Early adolescents' views concerning conventional war were assessed in order to better understand the thinking of today's youth, and to determine similarities and differences of the views expressed by adolescents 15 years ago. Three hundred sixty-two seventh-grade students were surveyed regarding conventional warfare in general and United States military involvement in Latin America specifically. Results suggest participants were somewhat more accepting of war in 1986, and that many were skeptical of President Reagan's honesty and wisdom on the issue of United States military involvement in Latin America.
