Under no circumstances should children find themselves in such a situation, if they need to go through something similar they should do everything possible to maintain their innocence, a great example is the movie "Life is beautiful".

Drafting kids for war can never be right in any way. War in itself is destructive and is often not meant to be the way for human beings to slove their problems. Putting kids in the middle of all that is callous. They are meant to be protected from wars and not made to keep one going.

I think that the thought of child soldiers should be entirely forgotten because children are meant to be raised carefully and in a safe environment.

If I had the power, I would definitely end the menace. It is scaring and traumatizing to send kids to war. It should not be done.

This was a bad choice, in my opinion. Kids should continue to grow until they establish a sense of self. To conscript them into battle would be suicidal. If I have the ability to stop it, I will consider it my duty to do so.

It is totally wrong to draft kids for war. But then, most governments do not care about what us morally right or wrong, they are mostly after what benefits them as a government.

I definitely will not want my kid to be drafted for a war that could have been avoided with a dialogue. If the adults cannot sit down, come to an understanding and solve their issues peacefully, then they should pick up their weapons and fight each other alone and stop drafting innocent kids to go sacrifice their lives.

Drafting kids for war is child abuse. Kids should be used as machinery for war. Its improper and i believe kids are meant to be protected.
