I see that several of these nations use 14 year old and I assume and hope it is boys but even at that they must not think too much of their male population to go that young. I am in favor of drafting only males IF anyone has to be because I do think women are too valuable to be risked in wars. Like it or not, males are more dispensable and since wars are mostly about males killing males, we need to leave women and children out of it.
