    That doesnt make it better for me so much as pointing out how bad others are as well.

    But I also think 18 is too young for war too, so there’s that.

    I’d also note - vast majority <> all.

      That doesnt make it better for me so much as pointing out how bad others are as well.

      My main point was that there is a discrepancy about how we speak about or label the actions of certain cultures or groups of people as opposed to the same actions taken by westerner nations.

      I’d also note - vast majority <> all.

      There are younger recruits, but I believe they are more a kin to being in military school, being taught tactics and self defense. I believe the official age for combat roles is 18.

        Yeah, and I’m saying that doesnt make it better for me. Not for them, not for others.

        I think its shitty having anyone with ‘teen’ in their age going off to fight or prepping for it.
