They are tempted by these jobs because the end of their service in the army means no food, no place to go. Lack of money makes them go towards this path. Hospitals are rare since the government have taken over them for military purpose. Their health is hanging on by a mere thread from malnutrition and poor quality of life. Children without parents grow without morals since no one is there to teach them to them. They have no rules, which gives them no boundaries. They become violent and stricken from the loss of their homes, families and friends. Children shouldn't become weapons of war just for a dispute between religions, governments or race. What do their kids get out of being in the army? Absolutely nothing. No fun, no children, no life!.
Following this argument we need to take in account the physical aspects of being in a war. Kids live in a world of hell. It is not fair for them to have no say in the decision of fighting. These kids are recruited, yes, but in what ways? Kidnapping for one, conscripted for the other. What do they have the chance end up with? Amputated arms, legs, diseased bodies, scars traveling through young body. Those who live in refugee camps, sewers or alleyways are worsened by lack of hygiene. Therefore, their wounds won't be cleaned up, disinfected and they would live with these deformities all their lives. War ruins lives and bodies. Small girl and even boys are being used as sex slaves to "alleviate the sadness" of the soldiers. But you and I know that's just talk for the soldiers to get what they want when they want it. Some are even whipped, molested, raped or maimed based on race, sex and religion. Soldiers older than them abuse these kids because they know no one or no law are going to stop them. The children were recruited to serve in the army and not be a slave of it. Children have been forced to watch such acts of humility and brutality and, in turn, become subject to it or become cruel and evil themselves.
