NYT story says child soldiers exist "across the globe," but truth is, they exist only inside my Gap.
When people say it's not our role to do the SysAdmin work in these places, they just need to understand who gets pressed into service when Core great powers don't show up.
Take a good look at the kid's face, because he's working for you.
Feel any holier about our non-interference?
