Wars are started by adults and fought by children. "Cannon fodder" is just another term for the worst form of child abuse. Why doesn't the world wake up to this obscenity?

Wars are started by adults and fought by children. "Cannon fodder" is just another term for the worst form of child abuse. Why doesn't the world wake up to this obscenity?

It's happened in El Salvador, Zaire, Sierre Leone, Iran and elsewhere. The machine guns are often bigger than the child soldiers themselves. It is worse than obscene. and none of these soldiers are volunteers.

And it's no real surprise for Myanmar. It's the same brutal totalitarian crap going on there by various names since 1962.
