Would you use your children as human shields?

And who would shoot children being used as human shields? What kind of people? You? I know we're all capable of anything, but, er, how do you get to be that desensitized? That fucking evil? To regard children as collateral vermin in their own streets?
Not me, Bucko. Maybe your tale.

However, if your calculus for putting your children in mortal danger includes trusting an enemy to not shoot, or more likely not blow up your children in a war situation, then you are one trusting fool.

If you’re using your wife as a human shield you can assure her with, “Trust me, honey. We may be at war but they won’t shoot you.” That might be a tougher sell than convincing the children to wear a suicide vest 'specially if you convinced them first, errr, make that 'specially if you're selling them on shielding dear old Dad.
