Child Soldiers
    #7831862 - 01/04/08 01:03 PM (16 years, 28 days ago)

I just finished watching a show on the history channel about Child Soldiers. Mainly about L.U.R.D, R.U.F, and several other rebel factions in Africa which readily recruited children.

The means at which the children are abducted and forced into battle is absolutely deplorable. Some children as young as 5 years old, were forced to kill their own parents. Forced to used hard drugs, and brainwashed into being robotic killers. To be turned on and off at their commanders order.

"We are all capable of losing our sense of humanity when forced into extremely violent situations, its not limited to Africans, Asians, or anyone else."

Better some six-year-old fetus than an actual person with thoughts and ideas that actually matter.

Its pretty rough in Africa, be thankful for the life you live and what you have is all I have to say.

Think you got it rough? Imagine your parents being slaughtered and you being forced to join some African militia to fight a never-ending war. It's constant over in Africa with cultural and tribal conflict. The blood-shed is never ending there. All over land disputes, territory, diamonds,etc.

In Sierra Leone the fighting is all about diamonds, I believe.

Add that to the massive famine,poverty,starvation,and disease.

Sucks to be born in rural Africa :frown:
