[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7563338, member: 6716779"] Also we don't know enough about his back gournd anyway. Did he fall in with the Alliance as a child and they raised him, was he literally a child assassin (we see this in Game of Thrones), did he volunteer and/or lie. I don't think the alliance is doing mass recruiting of children. In WW2 the US military used a 12 year old in combat (he volunteered and lied), a teacher I had in 1989 was a child in the Sudetenland under Nazi occupation and did some things that would have got him killed if he got caught. These things happen, some 10-14 year olds would chose to fight and could operate weapons (physically, parents may have even taken them hunting). Those are exceptions not the rule but these things happen even outside dictatorial regimes that either deliberately use child soldiers or have things like the Hitler Youth/Young Communists. WW2 literally had a 12 year old chose to go to war. Context is a big difference and we don't know the context (he is getting a spin off right?). Our idea of the childhood ideal may fall a bit short when the forces of evil literally come stomping own the street. The Empire is everyone bad guy. Are they space nazies, space commies, space British Imperialism, or the space military industrial complex or just space baddies that need zapped. [/QUOTE]
