No no, see this was so bad that it justifies bombing the whole region, killing all seven year old children in the interests of preventing one from being hung.
No wonder so many soldiers come back fucked in the head....Child soldiers, once they pick up a weapon are no longer protected under LOAC or The Geneva convention....i couldnt imagine offing a kid...no fucking way
I think the general value is learning the various ways in which it can be demonstrated that children, regardless of culture, should not be the specific targets of adult jackassery.
That's like saying we'd punish a 7 year old for assault if he pinched a girl.
But then this isn't our law system and these kids probably are forced to make decisions at an earlier age than our over protected kids in the US
You're essentially saying a 7 year old has the capacity and mens rea to commit a spy related crime
