host, your stepson has expressed an interest and I would choose only impeccable sources (if any exist) to make your case. He has quite literally invested his life in the beliefs that he currently holds and I do not think he will reconsider those beliefs easily. Criticism of the CiC is also problematic as it is contrary to the soldier's creed.

I confess that I am pessimistic about your hope to provide information that would cause your stepson to rethink some of his beliefs, but I sincerely wish you success in the attempt. I think it is far more likely that his opinions have been formed by his peers and can only be altered by his peers and the experiences they share.
