    Children in war-torn countries often face hardship and cruelty. During the Vietnam War, children were used as child soldiers, drum boys for the infantry, and suffered high rates of death. War deprives children of normal development, education, food security, and health, as they are forced to confront violence instead of enjoying their childhood.
