Under attack by terrorist forces, every state would use any help. For them is about survival.

If they're out of military aged men I would suggest a tactic change or surrender instead of sending under aged kids to war.

Tell Ukraine and be sure to condemn the Allies of WW2!

Under international law, children under the age of 15 are barred from participating in hostilities and the International Criminal Court considers the recruitment of children a war crime.

International law already allows children.
