I don't social anything, So I came across this story peripherally and have not seen the video.

I did read some press about it and saw the guys that made the film.

------------------

The first thing that I noticed was one of the film makers with a t-shirt on that said "Kony 2012" and thought to myself that this is nothing but a moneymaking op for these dudes.

As the week went on?

I saw some kind of bracelet/tag on a string that was shown with the K/2012 shirt, so, I did a google for the stuff on line and saw that this is big business for the people 'sponsoring' this info/news.

-----------------

Children being used as pawns for warlords in Africa is nothing new.

This has been going on for years and to think that these guys are bringing it to the masses makes me laugh, not in the haha funny way, but in the cynical, you have to be friggin kidding me way.

I saw a documentary and some other stories years ago about the very same situations on the African continent.

Some of the "child armies" are a sad product of the economics and way-of-life in the areas where the WLs operate.

The WLs can put together these armies because the children they 'recruit' are so poor that the promise of food and clothing makes it one, if not, the only opportunity to get a meal into their stomachs.

-----------

Here's another little factoid about why these 'armies' are so successful.

The Kalishnikov styled assault rifles they carry.

If I remember correctly, the AK-47 rifles have only 3-4 moving parts and can be taken apart and cleaned in a matter of minutes-perfect for a child or teen to understand.

The AK is also on of the most copied firearm on the planet, so copied and simple that you can take parts from firearms maufactured in different countries and put them together to make a useful rifle.

This Kony moron isn't the first and won't be the only idiot to take advantage of small children - He's more known because of some opportunists who are using the internet to make money on a sad story that has been going on for years.....
