plain and simple... a bullet from a 8 year old is just as deadly as one from a 28 year old... they are also easy to come by... think about the death rate in those countries... very high... people are lucky to make it to an older age

You're not going to like this but the answer is obvious.
The young mind is easy to manipulate and if a young boy, old enough to rape that is used as encouragement.
In Palestine, Iraq and Iran SOME religious leaders are brain washing the kids to hate Jews,Yanks and others they do not like, from the age you mentioned

There is no since in the matter. As soon as they are born, all they are trained to do is to become soldiers. Very sad.......and pointless.

Although I completely disagree with the practice, they do it because children are easily controlled.

Because children are easier to indoctrinate.
