Am I? Because, again, all the adults have to do is not allow the kids to fight. That’s it. The kids aren’t pushing past them and raiding the weapons lockers. They’re being forcibly conscripted.
Again, what force? They’re being recruited, not forced. I know what you said about them being young and impressionable, but no happy kid would rather go fight in a war instead of playing with their friends. So again, ask yourself here. Why do they feel the need to?
Yes, just like kids are “being recruited” for sex work.
Yet again, children’s brains are not developed enough to understand the consequences of what they are doing. They are being forced to fight because they are being manipulated into doing it. That’s why they “feel the need to.”
Question then. If I were to go to a group of young, impressionable kids in a developed country where they are living comfortably, how successful would I be in recruiting them to be in a militia?
Why on Earth would you think I know the answer to that? Do you think I’ve ever seen it happen? Experienced it?
Considering the number of young, impressionable kids who live comfortably that join cults, I’m guessing a good salesperson could be pretty successful at it.
This person was literally a drug addict who got kicked out of her house by her parents. She was homeless when she got recruited. This only reinforces my point.

Apparently you answered your own question now: yes, those kids in that developed country would be successfully recruited to be in a militia. Or at least do a militia’s bidding.

It’s like you don’t even know what children are.

And what kind of people do cults tend to attract? People that are in happy lives? Or the ones that are in desperate situations?
Lots of children of rich, successful people join cults.

Nah, never happens in America.
