Didn't you?

That sure sounds like defending the killing of children because for sure they were all holding a gun and trying to kill you. Including the babies.

If you show all the YouTube videos in the world, the moment when you find a justification to kill any innocent children is when you become irreversibly the problem.

No I didn't.

Your second point literally makes no sense and is based on the straw man that babies are holding guns where I made no point even related to that or collateral kills (which are unacceptable). Secondarily my point is based on internationally legal definitions of combatant and evidenced with a video of combatants being trained. Not like the UN and UNICEF haven't been all over this for decades.

Don't use child soldiers and you won't get statistically significant child casualties.
