[RJBMW1011]

@SELongB You're right, that's also a very good point.  Can't believe I forgot that..

[2rusian2]

I want to go to Africa and make an army of my own not of children but of men to try to stop it. I have 2 more years till I'm out of high school. I will go into the army first then find people that could fight with me.
