This is more grim than inspiring. Children shouldn't be making weapons of war.
For one, just... No, they should be playing. Necessity is necessity but if your can tell them no, tell them no
For two. All that which builds weapons is a valid target of the enemy. Do not make kids a valid target.
At first I thought "Yes". Everyone helps defending the country. But thinking about I have to agree with you 100%. Children must be shielded from war and given a normal childhood as far as possible. Don't lie to them when they ask why they have to run for shelter, or where their father is, but don't involve them in hating and killing other people, no matter how justified it may be.
