"Mother! Father! We had such a splendid time in the countryside! We played hide and seek and Lucy got lost in the wardrobe and Edward simped for a witch and Susan got to cosplay as Katniss Everdeen and Peter was knighted by a talking lion."

How can the UK kids tell their parents apart? They all look the same.

Oh man. I knew they hid in underground bunkers, but I didn't realize families were seperated. I thought the families would go down together.

A large portion of children were evacuated out of London to towns and villages across Britain because it was deemed much safer. A lot of them were made to live with other families they'd never even met before.

Removing children from war zones is usually practiced to, well, remove children from war zones. Depending on perspective this can be considered humanitarian.

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 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.
