I'm pretty sure if I planted IEDs and threw grenades at people at the age of 15 I would be tried as an adult
Hows the Russia thing going? lol
Missing a ton of context about what child soldiers are. Also kid was shot twice and partially blinded by schrapnel before he supposedly threw the grenade, then tortured by Americans into telling him whatever they wanted him to say. You ever been a 15 year old child soldier in Guantanamo? Me neither, thank god.
Also all those claims about IEDs and grenade and all that. That was all admitted through torture, which means its 100% bullshit.
And the widow wanting to sue him for his husband's death on the battlefield. That's messed up, he was literally a soldier trying to kill Khadr and his family in his country. Iraqis unsuccessfully try and sue Americans for their civillian casualties, which is still strange, but an American suing a Canadian who was a kid and most likely did fuck all, is messed up. Especially because she's probably going to get something. Weird system.
