It so happens, Mary, that last night I attended a screening of the film War School organised by my local peace group, in which Ben Griffin is prominently featured. The film shows the infiltration of the military into schools and young peoples' organisations in order to brainwash them. We know this goes on -- over 11,000 visits by the military into schools last year -- but to see its effect on young minds is chilling: toddlers of 3 and 4 sitting behind heavy-duty machine guns and being encouraged by uniformed soldiers (and their own parents) to aim and press the trigger as if this was some feckin children's game. Sickening. Do see the film if you can. It can be bought or hired, I believe.
