Cool new game from Pakistan

The video in the OP clearly shows this is a diverse group of kids within a village with no apparent militants within view. Training camps would probably be isolated and involve a much smaller pool of children. In our warped minds we imagine any sort of play is an indoctrination attempt, it's pathetic.

Suicide bombers come from loners or people that get estranged from their families and then get prayed upon by terrorists. They don't come from a large group of kids having fun in a village.

So, where's your study on current terrorist recruiting trends, again?

I'm not saying the kids are right or wrong, but don't assume that the bombers are loners or estranged. This isn't America we are talking about.

To think such incredible corruption has existed in this Country for decades, kids pretending to be nazis, burglars, robbers, and villains. We should definitely crack down on imaginative play in order to prove our superiority. It is absolutely unacceptable having kids pretend to be bad guys.

When Little Kids Play War
Pretend weapon play is normal, but it's still wise to limit kids' exposure to media violence.

From the age of about 3 through 5, pretend weapon play is normal. Having aggressive feelings is and has been normal since birth. By 3, there is an outlet for such feelings, a step above tantrums, and that is pretend play, sometimes with make-believe weapons. In the best of circumstances (children who do not experience harsh or inconsistent discipline, who do not witness person-to-person aggression among teens and adults in their midst, who enjoy caregivers' praise for solving disputes verbally, and most importantly, who do not feel deprived, helpless, and unfairly treated), pretend weapon play is a harmless phase, likely to fade from the school-age child's repertoire. It is replaced by more mature and socially acceptable ways of expressing aggression — notably through athletic and skill competition.

The Importance of Pretend Play
Encourage your child to use her imagination — it’s not just fun, but builds learning skills too!

Young children learn by imagining and doing. Have you ever watched your child pick up a stone and pretend it is a zooming car, or hop a Lego across the table as if it were a person or a bunny? Your child is using an object to represent something else while giving it action and motion. But this pretend play is not as simple as it may seem. The process of pretending builds skills in many essential developmental areas.

You never were involved in a group of kids pretending to re-enact WW2 after learning about it in elementary school?

Additionally, millions of kids pretend to be terrorists, murdering hostages and killing police. (hint, the initials C.S.).

The bottom line is this video shows the complete innocence of kids and how they will try to play games involving current events. When Al Capone was terrorizing America you certainly had kids playing Al Capone and kids playing cops, and the bad guys sometimes would shoot the cop kids and they would fall down dead. You could look at this from the outside and say "OMG WE ARE TRAINING KIDS TO SHOOT COPS AND THEY WILL BE EVIL", or you could be a rational human being, step away from your computer, enjoy a bit of sunshine, and realize they are innocent kids just playing.

We don't know who shot that video or why but you can't just automatically dismiss it as "the complete innocence of kids and how they will try to play games involving current events." I'm sure they came up with the security guard role on their own.

I didn't know any kids that pretended to be nazis or other variety of mass murderers.

What about their parents?
