I agree that this is a bad idea, and not just because a lot of things can go wrong. It's completely unethical. Even small children deserve to know the truth. How can we expect them to trust adults if we lie to them all the time?

Now if the DoD could somehow make it possible for them to actually talk to their parents once in a while, that would be a completely different matter.

  Actually I wonder if the idea of "children" isn't an attempt to cover up more sinister things. Really think the Pentagon's first priority in creating "simalcrums" is to help children?
