Drafting Kids for War

Totally against it, especially as the individuals responsible for the war hide themselves and their children, allowing citizens which they've manipulated and never done good things for to die for them.

Thinking from the perspective of the person doing the drafting, it's precisely why it's a bad idea that is appealing to recruiters. Young minds are easily manipulated. Their brains are not fully formed, so they are much more pliable and likely to believe whatever is repeatedly expressed to them. It's not a good thing by any means, but people who believe in drafting kids for war aren't looking to enhance a child's life or improve their wellbeing, they are looking for bodies. More specifically bodies that are easy to control, and kids are a great example of that. It's terribly unfortunate. Kids should never have to experience war, much less actively participate in it.

Yes, it it true that the government of mlstnations go to the extent of drafting kids into war. Honestly, I do not fancy the idea of drafting kids, and if I had the power to stop act of drafting kids, I'd make sure that act is reduced. Kids do not have to die through that kind of thing.

Drafting kids for war is a sin against humanity, I really don't care what some president of some country thinks about it. War in itself isn't right; drafting kids for war is the height of it.

Your are very right. That decision is wrong no matter how you look at it. Why can't they just let kids be kids?

If you had the power, would you end this menace? Or do you find reasons with the government for drafting young kids for war?

I would end the menace of drafting kids for war if I had the power.

No, I do not find any reason why any government should be allowed to do that.

Kids should not be drafted for war. When I say kids, I mean person below 18. And 18 year old us still a child to me, but if the government must draft any person, they should stay from there. Let kids enjoy their childhood.

Whether or not I find reasons for drafting kids for war is immaterial because it will never stop.
But since you asked, I would stop that menace if I was given the power to do that because no child should be exposed to the number of death and amount of gore that cones with a war.

I know I will stop that menace if God gave me the power. Governments should never sent kids into battle. That is vile.

Children should not be given guns, grenades, bazookas, and other ammunition to fight. Such is barbaric. If I had the power I will stop that practice across the globe.

If I had the power, I would end that. It is abnormal and wrong.

Those governments should learn to solve their problems with dialogue, not war. Kids should never be drafted.

If I had the choice I would end this menace. The years in which a child should be gaining self-awareness, learning about themselves, and learning to make their own decisions are lost in the face of a war they did not start. The trauma they have to go through is as good as sentencing them to death.

I believe that in war times, people essentially lose their minds and their sense of self. War, in itself, is a frenzied affair. Ideally, I would say that countries should strive to avoid war in the first place. And I would like to say that if I had the power, I would exempt kids from directly participating in such a life-changing, gory experience. But more reasonably, if I had the power, it would be more important to avoid war altogether.
