    It depends on what you mean. They don’t exactly draft Liberian diamond miners either. Poor uneducated Liberians do that because they have to.

      Holy shit…

      Did you just equate working in a mine for sustenance to committing war crimes for a placement in the middle class, lifetime benefits, free education, and the expectation of respect and special treatment for the rest of your life?

        Yeah that is exactly what I did, and it’s even worse, because what are you even fucking talking about.

          What do you believe was their point?

          They equated surviving in a mine with moving up in society as a reward for war crimes. What do you think their point was?
