If fundies had half the faith this guy claims they'd be feeding him ak's and provisions. Thankfully, they do not.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I was having a discussion with a guy last night on FB, the guy throwed a bunch of lies about this project (the usual stuff, eg "its too simplistic", "the LRA is only 250 men strong", "They are not in uganda anymore", etc...), so I ponted out he was spreading misinformation, the guy starts playing the victim card so I had to tell him to fuck off, 'cause I don't talk to cry babies. He later posted on his FB page this link:

And that makes using children for an army any better?

I could interject with the fact that we all leverage child armies. You think an 18 year old male with fantasies of being a war hero, getting the girl, and saving the day is an adult? Sure, they can operate the deck of a carrier with little to no incident, but honestly, do you trust them behind the trigger? Not that this excuses what's going on, simply that it implicates us all.
