According to an official memo sent out by at least a dozen employees of the United States
State Department, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has broken the law that was passed to protect
child soldiers throughout the world, specifically the fact that the United States would not
offer any military aid to any country that was using soldiers under the age of 18.
How did Rex Tillerson do this?
Well, according to the employees who have spoken out against him allegedly breaking
this law, Tillerson decided to not mark the countries Iraq, Myanmar, and Afghanistan as
countries that use child soldiers, and therefore they are able to get US military aid.
However, the State Department itself, through its own reports and its own studies, has admitted
that Iraq, Myanmar, and Afghanistan all use child soldiers, so Rex Tillerson's decision,
according to these employees, breaks the law saying the United States will not offer military
aid to any country that supports, or recruits, or uses child soldiers.
Here's why this is important.
Apparently at the US State Department, the use of child soldiers doesn't matter.
We don't care what another country does.
We don't care what kind of war crimes they commit, as long as we're able to go in, feed
our need for endless war, boost the profits of military contractors.
We're going to do whatever we have to do to sweep the truth under the rug so that other
people get richer and we can send soldiers to go over there and fight wars that have
no purpose whatsoever.
That's what's happening here.
Looking the other way on the child soldier issue doesn't make it go away.
It doesn't mean that the problem's not there.
It just means that we're making it worse by going over there, sending our military, killing
more people, forcing those places to then go out and recruit, and kidnap, and force
into the military other children.
We're making the problem worse, just like the United States military has done in recent
years in so many other countries, especially in the Middle East.
Rex Tillerson broke the law here, and that's what these 12 employees are trying to tell
us.
If it turns out that, yes, he did break the law, we can prove that, it would hold up in
a court, then it is past time for Rex Tillerson to go, and I do not believe that Donald Trump,
given the friction that has happened between him and Rex Tillerson, I don't believe that
Donald Trump would let this man serve in this capacity any longer.
With any hope, Rex Tillerson will be out of office by Christmas this year.
This was a man who absolutely came into this job with no qualifications whatsoever.
He was the CEO of an oil company, given one of the most powerful positions in the United
States for absolutely no reason other than the fact that he had a lot of money and Donald
Trump likes people with money.
This is the kind of policy that results from that.
You get a guy that doesn't know what the hell he's doing, decides he wants to look the other
way when countries use child soldiers, and now he finds himself on the wrong side of
the law.
Again, hopefully this guy is out of office by Christmas, and maybe with a
little luck, by Valentine's Day, he might even be in prison.
