The U.S. Army School of the Americas (S.O.A.) at Ft. Benning, Georgia, has trained 60,000 Latin American soldiers. Over its 50-year history, the S.O.A. has earned the nickname "School of Assassins", as its graduates have committed countless atrocities -- including massacres of entire communities, assassinations, rapes, tortures, and disappearances.
