Child Soldiers: War Is No Game

Your favorite war video game is actually a living nightmare for thousands of kids right now.

We are talking about seven-year-olds being forced to hold guns instead of toys.

It is not just about fighting on the front lines. Commanders use these children as human

shields, spies, or even force them to walk ahead with brooms to find landmines

so the adults do not blow up. They often pump them full of drugs to wipe out their

fear. It is terrifying because these kids are cheap, obedient,

and expendable. War is definitely not a game when you are forced to play it for real.
