It Takes a Caliphate to Raze a Childhood

The children twisted by ISIL during their years-long occupation of Iraqi territory will be a problem for years to come:

From the stateless children of ISIS members, to child soldiers and the tens of thousands indoctrinated in ISIS schools, a generation of young Iraqis has been traumatized and radicalized by the nihilistic jihadist group. They are at war with themselves and their own community.

In the words of one trauma specialist, many of these children have, as a result, lost their “trust in humans and humanity.”

The problem has been raised before.

Add these children to the problems of taking our Goddamn time defeating ISIL's caliphate.

UPDATE: Tell me again that killing every one of those jihadi bastards is somehow wrong:

ISIS propaganda chiefs have released chilling footage of a fresh-faced child suicide bomber blowing himself up in the desert.

They can't be killed soon enough.
