Insurgents use the women and children as cover.

They also bring the children to be attacked, as it looks bad on camera.

Pepper spray removes the non combatants from the field in a non lethal manner.

These actions are known tactics by both sides.

Don't feel bad for the child. You are being played.

It's like dead refugee babies washing up on the beach.

Used to drive thru the center DaNang from the countryside to get to DaNang Air Base every couple of months in 72-73, creeping thru heavy traffic and swarms of pedestrians was the most danger I experienced. Saw an 8-10 year old in the crowd throw a grenade into a jeep ahead of us. The driver and passenger bailed out, but the blast injured several civilians close to it.
