Average soldier wanted to deal with that. It was high command keeping that shit going because they wanted to keep tribal leaders happy.

That's even worse? Your senior officers are supposed to be the ones doing the right thing.

No no you see the rank and file totally wanted to stop all that child SA, but alas they simply had to follow orders
