Have you ever wondered what happens to child soldiers after the war ends? People debate on whether they should be postulated for committing war crimes. I think they shouldn’t be prosecuted for what they have done as kids because they were fighting in the war. I personally think that the child soldiers shouldn’t be sent to jail. One of the reasons why child soldiers shouldn’t be sent to jail is because they become brainwashed. They might go into the war knowing right from wrong because they were

They didn’t want to let them down‚ alongside of their nation. Their family in regiments was just as beloved. They all felt the same pain and pride‚ therefore becoming closer

I have been thinking to myself why soldiers would want to re-enlist for 9 months at the Valley Forge Camp. The conditions in the Valley Forge encampment were terrible. First off‚ there wasn’t really any good and healthy food at the camp. Second‚ soldiers had been getting sick and dying from lack of food‚ and other conditions I will be talking about.
