More than 100 monks have marched in central Burma, the first time they have returned to the streets since last month's bloody crackdown on protests. The monks chanted and prayed as they marched through Pakokku, the site of an incident last month that triggered pro-democracy protests nationwide.
The government said 10 people died during the crackdown, but diplomats believe the toll was much higher.Thousands more - many of them monks - were thought to have been detained.

Apparently the Burmese army has begun recruiting kids because there aren't enough adults who have signed up.
Are they surprised that those thousands upon thousands of adults who were in the streets protesting the military government and begging for democracy don't want to join up?!
