Child soldiers, sometimes referred to as little soldiers, are children who are either raised as soldiers or forced to fight in the battlefield. They are usually younger than 16.


History

Throughout history and in many cultures, children have been extensively involved in military campaigns even when such practices were supposedly against cultural morals. Since the 1970s a number of international conventions have come into effect that try to eliminate the participation of children in armed conflicts, though the practice still remains widespread in some parts of the world, with at least 300,000 child soldiers being deployed by 2009. The growth of the practice in the early 2010s led to an increase in the use of child soldiers on the battlefield, with the soldiers recruited by witch hunters also becoming younger as a result.

Other military uses of children

In 2021, the military fortress of Zanzibar Land was inhabited by many children who had been "saved" from various wars by Miss. Although they were not deployed as child soldiers during that time, Miss intended to train and equip these children to fight in future wars.

Behind the scenes

Adolescent experience with warfare is a recurring theme in Pale. Child soldiers are employed by many factions, some serving as proxies of practitioner families.

The Zanzibar Land children were omitted in the entry for Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake in the Previous Operations section of Pact and its remake, Poke.

There are several occasions in the series where it is implied that some characters had experience of warfare at a young age, although their participation as child soldiers, if any, is not specified. Most practitioners from practitioner families can be assumed to fall under this category by default.

Prior to the release of Pale, the Metal Gear Solid: Official Missions Handbook had claimed the Milkmaid had formerly acted as an underage mercenary at the age of 13.
