What would be the perfect soldier? Someone that would not ask question? Someone that would not hesitate? Someone easily manipulated? A CHILD SOLDIER??

Are the lives of our children worth the cost of our governments' wars?

For my Dear friend PAULINE ATIENZA....
CHILD SOLDIERS - The worst! We ought to know that...
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself...
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit even in your dreams.
We should join hands and put a stop on this people behind CHILD SOLDIERS...

ACTUALLY, GOING TO WAR SHOULD BE OUT OF ONE'S FREE WILL,AND WITHOUT ANY MORSEL OF COMPULSION, THEREFORE WHENEVER REVERSE BECOMES THE CASE, IT NIS INFRINGMENT OF RIGHTS, NOT TO TALK OF CHILDREN, THIS IS SHEER CRUELTY, LET US REMEMBER THAT GOD LOVES CHILDREN AND WOULD NEVER TAKE IT LIGHT WITH ANYONE WHO CONSTRAINS THEM TO DETRIMENT, PERPETRATORS BEWARE.

Well yes some of the most prominent recruiters of child soldiers are in Africa but not necessarily all child soldiers. I really appreciate your concern but I don't want anyone to think that it's only the Afriecans. This cause is to make the people aware, not to open their eyes to another racial generalization and profiling.
