The other day I posted a blog about the under-aged serving in the Afghan forces. You can read it here, www.bouhammer.com/2009/11/children-fill-the-ranks-in-afghanistan/.
Well now my buddy PJ Tobia goes after the same topic with pictures of 16-year olds serving in the Afghan National Police. I know some people may ask why the Afghan Government would even consider doing such a thing. It is simple, when you are desperate, you lower your standards. They need as many as they can to fill the AWOL plagued ranks of the Army and Police. Oh, and they are nothing new. When I was in Afghanistan a couple of years ago we saw everything from children to young men suffering from Downs Syndrome serving in the Afghan Army with weapons.
