with the US government in one respect. The US Government is
unwilling to sign onto conventions outlawing child soldiers because
they want to continue their practice of recruiting 17-year-olds into
the supposedly "volunteer" military. So both Chomksy and the
USG support the right of some state forms, theirs, to involve child
soldiers.</font></blockquote>
