First off, the whole "Child Soldiers" thing isn't that odd, it's just that we've never had to face that for a while.

In medieval societies, Squires (Who were roughly 15-19) would join the Knight he was learning from in the battlefield, in the age of sail, kids acted as "Powder Monkeys" bringing black powder to cannons. Oh and there were kids forced to fight when things got deseperate.
