Alright 1:They are to young to be fighting 2: They are fighting against their will 3:They were kindnapped from their homes 4: The survivors have been left permanatly scared for life 5:Many of them have been sexualy harrassed Here are a couple of bonuses 6: Many are forced to slaughter their own friends and family 7: They don't even know what they are fighting for 8:Over 10,000 died in unenssesary battled 9:They were drugged to make them more violent Tell me if you want more reasons.
Does anyone remember the CHILDREN"S CRUSADE in the Middle Ages? Thousands of children marched from Germany and France to re-conquer the Holy Land.
None returned. But some did reach the Holy Land...as SLAVES! Years after the "Children's Crusade" they could be found working as servants or prostitutes for Sultans in Jerusalem, Cairo, Tunis, Algiers, etc.
Israel doesn't need to used child soldiers and if it did it would be under serious pressure from its biggest supporter, the USA. Do you know how many Palestinian children Israel has killed? Israel's just as bad as the terrorists, even though they use a more politically correct way of bombing.
they have not chosen to play war like all of us do when we are young they are beaten and abducted from their homes and forced to fight a war that they do not support Americans are so blind about what is going on in this world. our kids here are so fortunate i hope and pray it stays like this
the become soldier cause they don't have support from anyone after their parent have killed. they only way they could feel little bite safe by involving somekind of group, this group will brianwish them. let help, let not just say ohooo then forget about it.
Anyone who sends their small children off to fight some war they don't even understand needs to just jump off a bridge for failing at life. Stuff like this has happend for ages (hell even england at one point sent children to fight the scottish, and I'm sure they weren't the first to do such a thing).
If there's unarmed Irish Republican proteseters in Derry, what do the British Army paratroopers do? They shoot them, so first get problems in the British Ilse fixed before trying to fix the problem of child soldiers.
Definately, lots of the children that end up fighting get exposed to drugs and other crap. One thing a child should live through is pain and suffering and death, which sums up WAR.
it's about the war in liberia and they were fighting to take control over a bridge in the capital monrovia. so im sure this will help u to find the video.
i'm pretty sure it was between the 2 warring parties fighting over a bridge because the documentary i saw about it used this footage when they were showing the fight for the bridge..i could be wrong though because the bullets hitting the truck seemed to be very accurate and the african rebels aren't well known for their marksmanship as they like to shoot their weapons like they're in a rap video or something.
This is atually happening and its among the saddest things i've every heared of and witnessed in my life. some of you act like its trivial we shouldn't care about what kinds of guns they're carrying and wetheer they can use them.
we should care that they're carrying a gun at all. most of these kids are kidnapped, druged and forced to kill imaghine for a second that was you would you really care wether or not you were wearing a tie.
how do u know were u there or are u one of those kids maybe they wanted 2 join maybe there forced dont say shit if u get ur facts of da net or u think whats right or wrong
Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. A kid wanting to kill? That feeling would only be instilled by the warmongers. The kids are forced to do it, they are told that they will be provided with food if they do it but they're not. Damn your idiocy.
the kid at :17 had rpg rounds. can he handle an rpg. anyways u got to look at this thing realistically. during a revolution u will use any means necessary.

At least the kids have some front line experience and become great professional soldiers in the future, if they live that is. Figure out a way to WIN wars as John McCain says.
To GMAC84..If each and everyone of us would take the time to do one good deed a day .. it may not change the world but if would at least make this beautiful life of ours , worth living. No hard feelings .. GMAC84.. Den
To GMAC84.. So what? .. you say.. True there are much worse things that are happening in the world.. but the really worse thing that can happen here is for people to remain indifferent to this kind of thing.. Let us hope not too many think as you do.. We are so priviledged to live here on Earth.. Take a minute and gaze at all the stars on a clear night.. and think about it.. You are among all of this amazing creation..
I was suspicious that you will turned out to be a stupid or a spoiled ass, and it turned out that you were both spoiled stupid ass...You think playing videos games has shown you the very worst of life. these kids have witnessed killings in an ordinary day of their lives or they have killed people at this tender age. Tell me isn't that a horifying They never had choice, they are victims of war as much as those they have killed or tried to kill You ain't a hardcore so get your small brain straight
you sad sad person i feel so sorry for you that your so jaded you can;'t see an issue here and you can't even contemplate someone elses opinion (based on facts) and guess what they are saying is true.
hey and when you reply to this be more creative than your pissy you couldn't be more wrong nice assumptions though and worse things happen in the world every day.
just becuase your in pain doesn't mean what hapens to them isn't wrong.
Great vid. I like the first shot of the african child wearing an adult size helmet. The boy looks so innocent but he's probably seen or going to see some grusome sights. I interviewed former child soldier Ishmael Baeh for a magazine article when he came to Canada. He told me that he still has gory flashbacks of his days in Sierra Leone as a rebel fighter. Thanks for the post. God bless.

The use of child soldiers is creating a danger worldwide. When these kids are abandoned by their captive army, they have to steal to survive.
The Hamas, Fatah, Hizbullah, Amal, and the rest of those "freedom fighters" are using children for killing.
Israel, who the media loves to bash, has NEVER used children as combatants. They don't even let kids take rifle lessons.
A lot of the African child soldiers say they were given drugs like cocaine and speed to make them violent.

Israel has committed many recent war crimes including using civilians as human shields and bombing towns with white phosphorus missiles.
