This rumour has probably done the rounds already but...have any of you heard about boy soldiers (11 or so years old) being court marshalled for desertion during the falklands war ?

There are isolated incidents. I personally know of one Sapper originally from Rhodesia who lied about his age and joined the SADF at 15. His family had been killed and their farm burnt out. He fled to South Africa but couldn't find enough steady work in South Africa to support himself and family. He joined the army for 3 meals a day and 45 rand a month (around $7). That's hungry!Reddite igitur quae sunt Caesaris Caesari et quae sunt Dei Deo
