"No, because they're children." And that's a lie and she knows it. She saw some of the footage that came out of Iran in the early 2020s when it got all that news play, or the documentaries about child soldiers in Africa, and that's not counting the civilian casualties. She can rationalize the lie to herself by reminding herself that wasn't her government sending children into war though (only bringing it to them instead, in some cases).

"But that's the thing, there are ways to enjoy peace without sending people to their deaths."
