Children (males) were sent off to Army camps at the age of 7, I believe. They would train until they were 18. Harsh, harsh training. Being whipped, fighting (almost to the death) with other children and sometimes full-grown men. It was said that the time men were sent into the army, it was a mother's proudest moment.
There was really no choice if you could go in or not. If the child was deformed or handicapped, they would leave the child out to starve, or just murder it. They thought there was no use for those type of children, and they would just slow down the army.
