    They barely acted. They sent 100 guys as an advisory and training team.

    It's absolutely appalling that your glorious American youth took 15 years before stepping into action.
    Seriously, what took them so long?

    Also: This isn't just about 'America's Youth', stop acting so goddamn patriotic.
    People have access to youtube all over the world, not just in America.
    Besides it's not just the youth who cares about this.

    The conspiracy theorist in me says this is a just a genius plan by Ugandan military officials to line their pockets and those of the founders.

    The fact is, now they are acting, and that is all that matters. And I am well aware that it is not just about America, it's just that America gets mentioned and criticized so goddamn much in this forum that everything turns into a debate about America anyway.

    If their idea of "acting" is seeking to kill somebody in a foreign country, they should stay ignorant and stop participating.

    It may not be the best idea, but it's better than not giving a fuck.

    They only give a fuck because of a 30min video full of sensationalist nonsense.

    I have no idea what you guys are arguing about but that video touched me. I want to do everything in my power to help those kids. They deserve better but I don't think Kony should be killed.

    Then don't support Invisible Children. And whatever you do, don't send these assholes money. That would be more likely to kill children.

    I support the overall message but not the company itself.
