If you find the above interesting/infuriating/motivating, you should know about The School of the Americas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_of_the_Americas_Watch
The School of the Americas was a training ground our government used to provide “professional training to thousands of military and civilian police personnel from throughout Latin America...”
How did that turn out? Here’s a statement about it that was actually said into the congressional record the House by Representative Joseph P Kennedy II: “This is one of the worst vestiges of this country's foreign policies over the course of the last couple of decades. While the cold war has ended, the association of this country in hundreds of villages throughout Latin America, in thousands of families where human rights abuses have taken place time and time and time again, those who perpetrated those human rights abuses have one thing in common. They were graduates of the School of the Americas. This is a school that is funded by U.S. taxpayers. It has trained the Latin American militaries how to come to this country and learn to kill, torture, and maim more efficiently. It is a school that should never have been associated with U.S. taxpayer funds.“
