The rule of law means nothing to this administration!

Approximately 12 State Department officials accused Tillerson of violating the law, which is intended to prevent foreign militaries from enlisting children, Reuters reported, citing international government documents.

The "dissent" memo alleges Tillerson's June decision not to include Iraq, Myanmar and Afghanistan on the list of countries that use child soldiers violated the Child Soldiers Prevention Act, according to the news service. The law requires that children under 18 are not "recruited, conscripted or otherwise compelled to serve as child soldiers."

I'm curious, did these nations just start using them or has it been ongoing?

I was recruited when I was 17.

My parents signed a waiver.

I'm more curious if the officials who made the accusations are the same ones who were tasked with compiling the list and recommending the action.

Ah, I see the Obama administration did it but claimed the children were "officially" police when they were engaged in battles.

Should Obama and Tillerson share a cell?

I think so, how about you Versatile and Slats?
