In the US it is considered normal to teach children to shoot.

In Iran it’s a wartime necessity.

From the article -

Human Rights Watch warned this month that the recruitment campaign constitutes "a grave violation of children's rights and a war crime when the children are under 15."

You know what else is a grave violation of children’s rights? Bombing their school.

This is really poor propaganda based on the title. I can't read the article because my virus protection blocks the site tho but I feel like I am giving it the attention it deserves.

Everyone fights to protect their homeland. American kids are taught to shoot while no-one is invading and bombing their country. Imagine what they'd do(did?) to the equivelant of Boy-Scouts. Bomb them and no one bats an eye because it is military age males learning survival skills that's close enough to a terrorist training camp.

How much money is being spent to put recruiters in US highschools on an annual basis I wonder
