The war orphans now
The war orphans from earlier generations are now the men and women that work, that have a family; that live: our society.

soldiers be prosecuted given the circumstances in which they develop their psychosocial skills (or the lack of development) for their crimes?
Should they be prosecuted even with enough evidence to prove they can become good citizens?
