7 year old soldiers?  :shock: I hope not.  Cute and sad at the same time.  BTDT in Vietnam.  The kids are ever the exuberance of youth.  Waving and hoping for treats.

When the Iraqi Army was traveling with us it was our SOP to stay in the vehicles until they had finished dismounting because at least one of them would have a negligent discharge.

We tried different training and everything else. Nothing worked until their First Sergeant started fining them for the ND and even charged them for the bullet. They didn't make a lot of money so it was pretty effective.
