Honestly, I don't know what to feel about this news. Kids are supposed to live their lives according to their age. But because of the need for them to mature and grow as fast as possible, they are being trained to be soldier at their very early age. Personally, I don't think it's ideal and humanly right. They deserve to enjoy their childhood and responsibilities must be lesser. But in this country, what's happening is totally different.
