The Thousand Yard Stare

The Syrian boy soldier with a thousand-yard stare: The sad image of child aged SEVEN
Puffing on a cigarette, a Kalashnikov AK-47 slung awkwardly across his little shoulders, seven-year-old Ahmed stands at a makeshift barricade in Syria.

He is one of the youngest fighters to be swept into his country’s civil war and something in his blank expression seems to hint at horrors that no child of his age should ever have to witness.

The picture was taken in the neighbourhood of Salahadeen, one of the front lines in the battered city of Aleppo.

And that folks is why one has no problem at all shooting a child. When in a hostile area anyone can be a threat.

There's a youtube video of this kid. Parents murdered, so now he's in the streets fighting. I need to get my girls some AK's.

That AK 47 was given to them by the Obama administration.

Hell that ain't nothing. Next week he'll be flying one of those F-16 Obama gave the Muslim Brotherhood.

His Country trusts him with a gun. I'm a retired U.S. Army Veteran and the liberal Democrats under O'Malley will not allow me to own one. What a sad state of mind this State is in when it comes to freedom and the Constitution.

He's just learning with the AK47. Soon the XA50 the Obama is supplying them will be in this boys hands.

11:56 better get one now. $700-800 online, if you ask them to remove the magazine. Then get some 20 round mags delivered to you.

A lot of fun. Don't buy the 7.62 at Gander, it got priced up 3 times what it should go for...being commie surplus ammo.

This will leave us "younger" generation living in a world full of FACTS....SCIENCE... and caring for each other without judgement

8:33 Then why does Obama wear a Muslim ring on his finger?

Anonymous said...

8:33 Are you aware that there are no pork products allowed in the White House kitchen, and he wears a Muslim ring instead of a wedding band.

We have seen your generation and seen the results. When the older ones die off, you won't be far behind. You can't take care of yourselves, you have no common sense, the 'facts' you speak of you get from youtube, most of you are in gangs, have tattoos, piercings, baggy pants or all of the above. And wonder why no one will hire you.

Caring for each other without judgement? lol. How old is that dictator in N. Korea? 28. You're just a generation of victims and will continue to be so, but without judging each other. lol
