Should child soldiers who serve in America's urban wars be given veteran's benefits and healthcare? Young black men in many US cities have a higher rate of violent death than people in certain warzones. Should the government be financially responsible for allowing things to get this bad? Giving former child soldiers VA benefits would serve as a form of reparations.

>>489099387They are child combatants under international law. Many are essentially drafted against their will into urban militant groups, and are forced to fight and die. That's a warcrime, and the US government allows it to happen. Giving them veteran's benefits is reparation for the government's failure to enforce laws against the use of child soldiers.
