The... child in the war zone?

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The relevance of that Saving Private Ryan scene to the comment you literally responded to.

Depending on how ‘voluntary’ it is with regards to the children’s guardians and who is doing the ‘removal’, it can also be ethnic cleansing.

The child's guardians in that scene are trying to give the kid to the Americans. (Well the old man is.)

Caparzo gets sniped, thinking he is helping. Because warzone. Relevance to: notion that children in a warzone is no good.
