Terronian realizing the need to defend itself upon invasion of a possible stronger threat, the Terronian Youth brigade or Youth Army has been formed. They are made up of boys ages 13-16. Membership is 100% voluntary unless a draft is instated. When entered, they are taken to 7 school/bases around the country where they are trained in basic warfare, physical conditioning, and reguler education. What may seem unthinkable to some nations, is actually quite acceptle as many Youth have already flocked to recruiting offices to sign up. The benefits of the Youth Brigade are also extremely great, it appears on the childs records throughout his life which makes the child must more impressive in the eyes of colleges, and future jobs, allowing him to get better jobs, a jumpstart in the military, allowing the boys to be more trained and experianced in the military if they accept it as there future, food, clothing, school supplies, everything is free as the kid gains money through the Youth Army, by the end of service, they can have up to 50,000$ or more saved up depending on rank. Also we are offering services to morre nations to train any youth they wish to be trained. Service cost 30$ per kid to pay for expenses. As u can tell the prices are cheap so for devolping nations, it couls save money to send children to the battlefield.

That is a great idea. We here in the C.T.C wish to help and shall if you wish send you weapons.

I disagree with your methods of war. kids are not to be sent off the battle. there are here to live and grow and ne kids. not to carry weapons and kill other people. you dont see it now but there is some serious repercussions from using kids in war.

yes we undertsna dthat, however, patriotsim in terronian is very high, plus the kids have better futures after there terms in the Youth Brigade. We also want to thank Texas and Colorado for there support, however we are trainign them with Modiefied V-8 Vektor Carbines which are shortneded versions of the Vektor V-5D Assualt Rifle which is the main firearm of the Terronian Armed Forces,.

We applaud this measure, for we too, utilize a Youth Army in a similar fashion. We start at age 12.
