   Japan and Germany didn't "accept" kids (and old men), they all but   
   forced them at gunpoint to serve in what Germany called the   
   Volkssturm, the equivalent of the Home Guard in the UK during World   
   War II.  Many DID volunteer, as their indoctrination in those cultures   
   "programmed" them to, but if there weren't enough they were forcibly   
   enlisted.
