You needed the last word on my post about how children are being recruited into an institution where they will be physically and mentally abused while being turned into killing machines for the state, and that word was: "I have no problem with this".

That's the proof who the arsehole is here.

I will never forget that the day Jack Chick died, my timelines were full of people talking about and laughing their favourite fucking bonkers, unhinhged Chick Tracts.

The dude brought the people he hated so much joy for so many reasons that he would fucking hate and I love that so much.

I was simply trying to follow your logic on why child soldiers are a good thing, if you find that insulting then I guess we are in agreement.

"Get a grip on this todger at once"

So it wasn't good for children to be sent to fight in Vietnam? Someone told me it was a positive outlet to guide and train them?

I was simply stating your position, you're not volunteering to be subjected to the fatal and life-changing effects reported in the article, but you're happy for other people, other children, to do so. Did I misunderstand you? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016...

Maybe you have no problem with it because you won't be the one having to piece your life back together after the army spits you back out with severe PTSD and a physical disability www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016...

What makes this worse is that children who join the British Army at between 16 and 16(+3 months) have the worst casualty and PTSD outcomes. This is because the army forces these recruits, who are often desperate to escape abusive or impoverished homes, into frontline combat roles such as infantry.
