It is one of the most heartbreaking and shocking images from the Syrian war. An eight-year-old boy draws deeply on a cigarette, the small fingers of his other hand clutching a an AK-47 rifle that balances awkwardly against his chest. He is too small to be able to hold his weapon properly, but this little boy, Ahmed, is already a fighter in the Syrian civil war…

Pathetic

People would take advantage of his innocence and ........ignorance!

May he will find the true cause and advocacy of this idealism. Nawala ang kanyang pagka bata his right to play to a safe environment.

In my opinion this is just pure propaganda, that kid won't be able to stand on his feet once he fires that AK 47. Tama si Ilonggo-by-blood it's "pathetic"... smoking::

you guys would be surprised how effective these child soldiers can be. Imagine an ambush situation where that child has his sights trained on you and he is well entrenched, he can take out a few grown soldiers before he got killed. He should be put in an orphanage or refugee camp and be given counselling.
