Millions of child soldiers might disagree, if they were still alive to tell their tales. Even adults have very little ability to resist being sacrificed for greed.

Soldiers in the VietNam War were forced. And it was all because some politician had a bug up his butt because his business men buddies saw a chance to make some money.
