I found out:
-almost half of Iraqs army is women
-Children are in the Iraq army to help clear out any dangerous land mines
-The kids weren't told that they were  going to die and thought they would get a gateway to heaven.
I thought that this was interesting:
Kids were able to use weapons at the age of 13 and that kids were given a plastic key that was supposedly the gateway to heaven.
One question I have:
Why did they have to use real people? Why couldn't they have just thrown something instead?

# data[].attributes.body
I found out that 36,00 kids died. And that they sacrificed themselves for others.
2 things I found interesting was that kids got guns when they were only 13. That books told kids that they should fight in the army. One question I have is why do people think that it is okay to do that to young kids?

# data[].attributes.body
I found out that around half their army were women, I found out that there were entire units for children, I found out that children learned about fighting in school.
I was surprised parents were letting there young children fight, something I found interesting was that the children were given plastic keys and told that they were martyr's and would go to heaven.
My question is whos idea was it to have child soldiers.

# data[].attributes.body
I found out that 36000 kids died to protect a regime.
I found out that children were taught to use weaponry at a sickeningly young age.
I found out that some "Besij" units were specifically meant for children.

Children in Iran are being taught that martyrdom is right.
They had no idea what they were really doing.

Who came up with this Cruel and terrible idea?

3 things
Over half the people are woman
36,000 children died when protecting the troops
School books and even Iran encouraged kids to join Iran's army.
Question:
Why did it have to be the kids that died while cluelessly walking??

# data[].attributes.body
I found out that 36000 kids died sacrificing themselves , I learned that half of the population was women and I also learned that they thought that drafting them was for the parents sake. I thought that telling them if they sacrificed themselves they would go to heaven was kind of like using them and forcing them into a deal that they couldn’t resist and I found out that 1 million people died and I thought that that was crazy I didn’t think that that many people lost their lives it was surprising to me. Were the kids scared to sacrifice themselves? Or did they want to and take the deal with no second though?
