The rebels and the Government soldiers used the little boys and girls as tools for war because these children had no intensions of standing up and not doing what he/she was told because all they knew was that they were drugged and if they disobeyed the rebels they would be killed. The children were small, weaker, away from their parents, drugged, and willing to do anything for food. Even though I am also a child I know that they weren't as well educated probably and they could/would/did believe anything the rebels told them. They were easily manipulated. The rebels thought that they were teaching them how to be good soldiers but they were actually ruining the little children' lives.
2. Why do you think that many of the children said that they have "Not future"?
Because these children were took at a young age, they grew up living most of their teenage years as soldiers or servants, they were in this state of mind that because they did these bad things (being forced to) people won't love them again. They didn't think there was any hope of finding their families, and being excepted in their villages. Some of them also didn't think that their parents would even remember them. They have a new over look on life, a bad one. They didn't think that they could ever get better. Some did, but there are still some who hasn't found their parents and think that killing people are ok.
