Fighting a was is dangerous even for trained soldiers. Obviously war is no place for children. However, in some third world countries children are used as foot soldiers. The children are not given proper training, and as a result are the first to die. Children also have the highest casualty rate, compared to older and more experienced fighters. The children are forced to fight, and have no choice in the matter.
The children, are not given proper food and clothing. Without proper training, they are easy targets, when they face experienced armies. Most children soldiers do not make it to the age of eighteen. Some of these children voluntarily fight, because if they do not fight for someone, they will get killed anyway. Even in some drastic circumstances, the life of being a child soldier. Is better then the life at home. Being a child soldier is a terrible way to live.
