Armed and Underage

     I just finish an amazing short story called " Armed and Underage " by Jeffery Gettleman. This short story is sad and it shows how little kids were forced to join the army. This story makes you feel bad for the children that were so young and were forced to no the army. Also it makes you think that it must of been horrible for the parents to have there kids taken away from them.
     A long time ago kids were forced to be soldiers. The commanders of the armies stated that " they don't complain, they don't expect to be paid - and they kill when you tell them to kill " I think that,that quote states that kids don't expect things like adults and don't expect any money because maybe they don't Know how valuable money is. Also I think it states that kids kill because they are scared of the commanders. 
     Kids were taken from there parents by force. I think the parents would sometimes make there kids to to the military because maybe the family needs money so there sending them for money. Also sometimes the families can't do anything about it because if they do they might be the ones getting killed. Overall I think forcing young boys into being soldiers are bot fair because maybe they are not ready yet.
