[quote:Anonymous Coward 84147920:MV81MjM5MDQwXzk2NTA1NDIzXzk0MTBEOERF] My only experience with toy soldiers (kids under 16) is through talking with some vets here in the US who cried and had nightmares and were never the same after having to kill kids by the orders of their leaders. Some even say the "enemy" would send those children in as decoys, loaded with fake bmbz or running up on them and they had to do this because they never knew who was doing what. Only a monster straight out of hell would use children to try and take out the enemy. If there must be war then let NOBODY show up to "fight" on any side. Let the "leaders" do their own fighting amongst each other. [/quote]
Original Message
"A hidden clause in Russian President Vladimir Putin's partial mobilization decree changes the country's defense ministry draft age range to 12 years old up to 70 years old, according to a report from Novaya Gazeta Europe, which cited a source in the presidential administration.
The Novaya Gazeta is an independent newspaper that's been banned in Russia amid Putin's crackdown on freedom of information and the free press, but continues to publish out of Riga, Latvia."
