It was supposidly the Evangelical Christian group that was doing this. I don't understand. Is this how this world is going to end up??? With children fighting children????

Fortunately the camp seen in the film was shut down after all the exposure. However the mentality that spawned them is alive and well...and seemingly intent on hijacking the entire Christian faith if it can.

No, you aren't the only one who thinks that's messed up ... they are seriously messin' with kids heads!
I'm a Christian and after 30 years of studying Jesus words have yet to find where He did not answer with absolute love. Nowhere is there an "army".
Who cares what the "enemy" is doing? God says to flee from evil, not become just like it, for goodness sakes where did you hear about this "camp"? Have they lost their senses?!

Not having see the subject clip I am going out on a limb here to suggest that perhaps the folks putting on this camp are cultist or boarder line cultists and not "all" Christians involve themselves in such?

Although I haven't seen it, I've heard the documentary makes Christians look really bad. I am confident that it was filmed and cut in such a way to make it look as bazaar and extreme as possible.
I know so many Christians who are kind and loving people, who would always help their neighbor and not judge. I wish I could make a documentary on them so that you could see something positive about Christians for a change.

Wow! yes! weird!!
Talking about 5 yr old children in the camps.. in my religion they are not even baptized until age 8 (considered the age of reason where they are first responsible for their own sins)...
I've always considered that this type of "training" is fanaticism
EDIT: oh.. I just saw part of it on their website.. not the whole movie or whatever it is.

It is sad that Jesus' name is attached to this group. Jesus NEVER preached any such thing. What these people are teaching these children goes against everything ever taught by Jesus. A more appropriate name would be Satan Camp.

Christian children are not fighting each other, they are waging war on EVIL!!!
Proclaiming the gospel is a righteous lifestyle and for parents to want for their children to truly understand how hopeless the world is without Jesus and pray, that's great...It is so powerful to see a child full of the Spirit...there is no beauty like it. Their hearts are tender and understand love more than we do and all they want to do is help people. Some of our children are so narcissistic that it's sickening and if you don't see that ending in utter destruction you might want to open your eyes to the mental well-being of our future generations.

Your right Jesus doesn't need an army let alone GOD. GOD calls no one to fight. Satan is already defeated it just all has to play out.
