where are child soldiers used and why?

Answer 1

Usually in Africa... But in Vietnam it was done when N Vietnam regimes pulled in. Did you ever hear of the killing fields? Kids were massacring people after we pulled out of Vietnam. Millions died.

Answer 2

Iraq is using them.

Why? Because they know US soldiers would really hesitate to shoot a child.

These countries have no regard for life. They train their children to attack. Knowing that hesitation from our troops will probably cost us lives.

Answer 3

I know that the Nazi's used them in WW2. When Hitler ran out of adult males, he called on the Nazi youth...think Boy scouts for the Nazi's. They were brainwashing these kids from an early age.
When the allies got to the outskirts of Berlin, they had to fight these children. And those kids fought very hard....another crime that hopefully God is punishing the Nazi's for.
(BTW I mean no disrespect to the boy scouts....I was one. It's just a similar set up.)

Answer 4

African states use them because they have a lot of them and the children are fairly easy to manipulate.

Several Islamic organizations use them for the same reasons as Africa and because they are incredibly effective combatants against most western peoples who hesitate to kill and are rarely suspicious of the children.

Answer 5

They were used in Nam and probably in Iraq.

They are used to get through the lines and wreak havoc.
Basically they are suicide troops only they don't know about that.

Thank you very much, while you're up!!

Answer 6

Only in Nazislamic cultures
Children are used as suicide bombers and human shields
Only Muslim adults are so cowardly they have to brainwash children to the deeds they are to cowardly to do themselves

Answer 7

Britain uses them too. Look it up. I think they are only in reserves though.
