How are we the smartest species on the planet if at any point we thought this was ok?
Edit: My point wasn’t wars existing, but giving kids guns and making them fight in them

We have a dear family friend who was recruited to do this in Vietnam. His daughter worked closely with the UN to end the use of child soldiers. He is so, so proud of her.

Holy shit that’s horrific (the child soldier part).

The only close to direct source I could find said they were Montagnards, 12 and 14 just back from patrol, and their fathers were in the same unit. Â Nothing after but it says they were heavily persecuted as a group after the defeat.

Damn. This is like the pictures my dad took. He was a photographer in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. He had so many candids of locals and unfortunate casualties of war. I couldn’t save them as his remarried wife threw them away. A lot of them were stamped classified.

A lot of children in third world and war areas smoke.;it suppresses appetite.Â
Kids are innocent but everybody is capable of murder if pushed enough. Victims of those around them like child soldiers across the globe, africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Cameroon, myanmar, Venezuela etc

Little kids both 🚬 (horrible to start destroying their lungs at that young of an age) and being in a death war (hopefully they didn’t end up dying) with 🔫s, seriously!? 🤨

If those young men are stoll alives, theyd be mid 60s-70s and would have some stories to tell.
