| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Taliban hard boy group and other irresponsible hard boy groups are recruiting children as soldiers in their ranks, local officials in Ghor province said. Zabiulalh Jawad, the provincial Independent Human Rights Chief, has told RFERL that they have credible evidences and documents to prove that Taliban are recruiting children to fight for the group. Provincial governor’s front man, Abdulhai Khatebi confirmed the remarks by the Independent Human Rights Commission, saying the group is actively recruiting childre in the ares under their control. The recruitment of children as soldiers is not in Afghanistan specifically by hard boy groups formed to fight the Afghan government. Earlier reports emerged from the eastern Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province suggesting that the loyalists of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group are forcing the children and young men in the districts under their control to fight for the group. The group is also accused of forcing the young women and girls to marriage in a bid to match the atrocities committed by the main group in Syria and Iraq. |

| #4 If it was the Afghan National Army doing the recruiting, that would be an accurate analogy. |

| #2 Hemingway, it's called "establishing an ideological seed crop." Go ahead and look up the word. I'll wait. The commies used it in a lot of places. Africa for one. The Western ones use the school system to indoctrinate the kiddies and fill the ranks. Much more humane, doncha think? And they're up against the Afghan army as well. There's a vaunted opponent. More likely the kiddies are date-night fodder, cheap labor, scouts and walking bombs - in that order. But you thought of all that. Right, Hemingway? |

| #1 That are hurting so bad they need to enlist the kiddies? I know that makes for a efficient and ( did I mention a real combat effective solution ) sort of trooper. How would you like to command a squad of highly motivated 12 year olds? Combat tends to sort people out pretty fast. Sort you out ...and a few of your friends as well. Like in dead... Then what have you got? And where do you go? |
