Doesn't matter if they are called LRA or Eastside Boys or RUF, they have many names down there. If you hit them real good and without mercy they are really fast in running and surrendering these guys down there are not Talibans or Al Quaida.

Unfortunately these troops we're sending are probably going to come back home with some worse than usual psychological scars. Going up against the LRA means they're going to be killing more than a few children soldiers.

Of course you kill more than a few Child soldiers, you whack them all.
That's the deal down there in the region, it was the same when the French were in Kolwezi 1978 and on many French Ops afterwards, whack them all and go home when the Job is done.
