Here is a very touching image of an American soldier holding a child. Ethically it can be seen that children have no place in war, especially around the horrors of it. News has been circulating about ISIS using children for the next generation of terrorists. It's been confirmed that children were used in several suicide bombing missions throughout the past as well. There have been video of small children as young as 5 years old committing heinous crimes such as executing people. In one instance a child was told to execute two men by shooting them repeatedly in the head- an act that he did indeed do. The children are virtually brainwashed and turned in terror laden fighting machines; intent on harming the world and promoting terror in the world. Ultimately it breaks whatever theories of morals or ethics you could have. How can humans be so morally downtrodden? Does this rewrite the theory of universal morality?
