protecting us. I wouldn’t have the things I have today. I am a junior in highschool, and I’ve always thought about joining the army, but always in the back of my mind it kinda scares me.

Others might have a problem or they can't hear, talk, see, or comprehend what people are telling them. There are people that want to become something big in life and not serve in the military. I don't want to go into the military i want to be a veterinarian. Some people don't want to be in the military. They don't want to leave their families. They might not like the…

P.W. Singer said in an article, “…The government set up camps for street children, and then rounded up children to fill them in a purported attempt to "clean up" Khartoum. These camps, however, served as reservoirs for army conscription.” In places like Sudan they take children from the streets and put them in camps to prepare them for the war before they put them in the wars, so now if a child is living on their own they to worry about being taking to a war preparation…
