There's a series than humans of new York is running on Iraq/Afghan vets with PTSD, and a common theme is child soldiers - pay them £5 to plant an IED or so.
Makes me wonder why there's very little focus on child soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan when the first thing you think of about African wars are child soldiers.
I guess the appeal to bomb them declines and people start questioning why aren't we going after the people giving them the money chilling in their mansions in Saudi Arabia.
Some of these ISIS execution videos are of children shooting captured adults at point blank range in the head.
should they be excused for shooting people in the head? - No, but should they be treated like adults making clear rational decisions? No.
You're special.Who said they did? Are you doing a Gaffer special and making up argumentative points out of thin air?
Tbf, your response did come across like you arguing against my point.
I was talking about ISIS videos.
You mentioned children and war.
I mentioned there were children in these videos too, you know, as a "oh yeah by the way". Reel your neck back in.
On a lighter note...

I'm professionally outraged that the decent, principled, upstanding man-of-the-people leader of the opposition would stoop to such underhanded media manipulation to make a point. Not sure what his point is, but I assume he's making one. If not, then he needs more to do with his time.
It's also quite a decent slice of comedic quality![]()
Shame he gave it up, apparently started his own conservatory business - smashing prices, concrete deals.
Are you referring to the Kurds?Why? In this case they are being sensible, clearing out the vermin on their border before they become more of a problem.
