Didn't this sort of thing happen to us in Vietnam?

I don't claim to be an expert but I have I've studied US military history in particular the history of the war in Viet Nam. I cannot remember an instance in Viet Nam where children were used as suicide bombers. This is not to say that children were not used by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese in their war efforts, but rather I cannot remember an instance where they were specifically used as suicide bombers. Korea I am not as sure on.

Children are the innocents of war. Young Palestinian children are manipulated as we have seen in the pictures. This is not their fault. They don't possess the ability to understand the global political aspects of the situation they find themselves in nor the cognative reasoning to determine the right or wrong of their actions.

The use of children in this manner is child abuse.

one of the precursor events to the much touted "mai lai massarcre" in the american press, was a series of GI reported children with grenades.. it came up in the press coverage of the trial.

I just missed signing up in 71-72 and it was a big deal then. We have a freeper named Gulfoftonkin68 or something like that who has all the vietnam vets of that era to tap for an answer as to when and where such events occured... but beleive me, the commies did this. It is part of their doctrine of using kids to kill the JudeoChristian West.
