Liberia Recovers From War - Slate

Excerpt:
"He was 14 and had never held a gun. In a few days, he learned how to fire an AK-47, how to disassemble and clean it, how to cover and conceal. He became the commander of a Small Boy Unit in Taylor's rebel army. His youngest soldiers were 11, the oldest maybe 17. He called himself Shavy, a nickname he'd gotten when he used to break dance in his neighborhood before the war."
