    My great uncle was in Vietnam. He was a soldier, and apparently the enemy soldiers had given a grenade to a very young girl and she was running to his troop with it. He had to make a choice, his men, or the child. He shot her dead. He came home and often would wake up screaming. It really fucked him up decades after it happened. Shits fucked

      I had a buddy in high school that came to America from Vietnam in the early 90s. He told me that the viet cong would go get his dad (maybe 9 or 10) and anyone else in the village who could hold a weapon when an American patrol was nearby. They then tied all the armed kids to tall trees, and would come cut them down at the end of the engagements.

      Kids getting mined is nothing new. Vietnam was horrible about shit like that. Read a story about a mom handing one of her kids off to a soldier. He blew up. Mom takes off running and gets lit up by an entire platoon of M16's and M60s. Literally cut in half. She had another kid with her tho....they didn't get close enough to find out if he was mined too.....

    My aunt was a language teacher for the canadian military and was often sent to the lands they recently "conquered" to open schools for children. She thought them french and english to help them comunicate with the surounding soldiers. Often members of the community would become like assistant teachers.
    Well one time there was a female assistant teacher that was married and had two kids. Both kids were students at the school and at the time there was still a resistance going on. Their mother was very nervous and visably distressed. My aunt had the soldiers that were protecting the school search the mother and they found out she was rigged with explosives. They took off the vest she was wearing and threw it out the window. They then found the husband outside the school with a detinator and stopped him (idk if they killed him or not). Appearently, we was ready to use is wife to blow up the whole school with his children in it.

      @Deniz Metinoğlu T. Believe me, she knows how amazing she is (is super confident about it). The only things that suprised her was that the man was willing to kill his own kids who were taking the class in order to kill one canadian officer (my aunt) who didn't even know how to fight (I'm not kidding she was under guard most of the time but they stayed outside of the school itself to not scare the children). She later learned that some of the men in that community considered their women and children like objects. Luckly the mother and her kids were able to get away from him.

    • @fuzzydo6911
      @fuzzydo6911 5 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      @Deniz Metinoğlu T. I'm not sure where it happened but it was common there for women and children to be treated like tools. In fact my aunt's team often had to pay particular attention to women and children because they were often used as weapons in some way (suicide bomber, throwing grenades, etc.) but usually not actually holding a gun. That was the "men's job". Luckly, this was the only incident she had a that school.

He often saw many corpses and for the most part, it didn’t really affect him. But the day he saw a dead dog, it gave him PTSD. My guess is it was the thought that an animal was trained from birth to fight lost its life over something it can’t even fathom.

      “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.” That’s really all you need to appreciate it but it goes on: “the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
      “We sleep peacefully in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm” and while this actually is more of a paraphrase than a real quote, with many different attributions and variations, I still think it’s worth sharing

      You're calling him names when even vets have said much of what was done in Iraq and Afghanistan were counterproductive and had long reaching rippling effects causing us to be further entrenched in a war with no visible end, almost 20 years later. Put that in perspective, and it doesn't really seem like much was done, and we have a president who is blatantly making bank off licking the plates of the Saudis, which definitely isn't good.

    The worst part is not those who die, is those who survive. I met a dozen of them in an internment center in Colombia, and they were just like the surviving kids used by the drug cartels and other criminal organisations I met from El Salvador or Panama taken by child protection services by the embassy.
    It is devastating, looking in the eye of kids who saw their first corpse at 9yo and it was their buddy who got shot at age 10.

    However, these children weren't being press-ganged into military service per-sec but rather the men of the village had gone off to fight in the war and died so their sons had took up arms to protect their village and their female relatives that were left behind.
    The military used to provide convoy protection for charity vehicles and they said:
    "We can fight the war or protect villages but we can't do both so these boys being able to protect their villages from militias who are able out-flank us is the only way we can fight this war unfortunately"
    It was kind of fucked up that these poor boys (and sometimes girls) were walking around with automatic rifles and shotguns like it was completely normal which it was for them because they'd never known anything else :(

    my grandfather was in vietnam (marine), and when he and a small platoon were advancing to east vietnam, they came across a small village. there was 1 single road, about 30 feet wide, and there were several abandoned market carts on the sides. they were walking, bunched up on the right side, clearing houses (all abandoned), and all of a sudden, a kid come out from behind a cart on the left side. he had an AK 47, and my grandpa was the first to open fire, and the only one to open fire. he fired a burst of bullets, 2 hitting the kids torso, and the next hitting his neck, but the scary things was that the kid didnt die instantlt, and as they moved towards the kid, he was coughing up bloood crying. my grandpa has serious PTSD from nam, and he would tell my mother stories when he was drunk on whiskey. she never wanted to hear the stories, but my grandpa got so emotional if she left. he just wanted someone to talk to (mom was 11 when he told these stories)

    When I was deployed to Iraq I was forced to go the field hospital trauma unit and lemme just say this there was more kids than adults....... We talking arms & legs missing it was pretty fucked up! I never killed any kids though. There was 1 kid who was 6 that was missing his left leg and both arms his right arm was completely gone and the left was gone from the elbow down. His dad told American Soldiers where an I.E.D was planted by 2 insurgents & those 2 insurgents found out about it. Well those 2 insurgents went & paid that family a visit that night they planted an I.E.D outside their little mud hut. Next morning the 6 yr old got up to go play outside and he opened the door took 1 step out the door and was blown up. That was 13 yrs ago & still can't unsee that!!!!!!

One night he got drunk, said how much he loved us but that love and laughter quickly changed and he started crying. He broke down screaming how he was a murderer, that he shot a kid at basically point blank range. I don't know the scenario because we tried to calm him down and the story just turned to mummbles and sobs. He was honourably discharged after being injured in a raid, not for the kid situation (in case some people were wondering)

You don't have to be torn up over it, just acknowledge that if you'd been born in the same position that easily could of been you, we don't get to chose where or to whom we are born.

Because the main reason of him to enter to the army was the narcos: they killed his son. 17 years old in a bar. crossed fire, he was in a bad moment in a bad place. he said to me that killing a narco is a thing, but killing a child, working for the Narco is another. he faced children armed with AR-15, AK-47, pistols, even one who tried to launch a grenade. it was between killing them, or let his squad die. Finally, he met his fate in one random battle in the south of the country and he died on service of the Mexican State. he didnt earned a single medal, but he earned not only my respects, but my support to the anti-narco establishment action. _Un soldado en cada hijo te dió!_

    This is part of the reason why I hope the draft never comes back for the US military. You send off units, some of whom are barely old enough to vote, and not old enough to legally drink, possibly to maim and kill other humans half their age. Nobody wins in war except those who profit from it
    edit: I know the whole us v. them argument holds water here, and I do understand some things are inevitable. But those soldiers who are able to take the life of a kid unfortunate enough to be subjected to likely lifelong radicalization and not be haunted afterwards...that says a lot more than I would like for it to

      There was actually a study done for enlistment rates of new recruits (could be old news, don’t quote me) that said with this war in the Middle East, there were so many army enlists, that if a Third World War were to take place, they would not need to draft in the first place.

      Due to the current warhawk stance America has been taking however, enlistment rates are way down. Something about spending two decades in a sandbox with guerillas has disheartened enlistees.

    A child came up to their vehicle they thought he would ask for water, as most of the children do. But instead he pulled out a gun and shot my mom in the upper arm, she had no choice but to shoot.
