<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Coheed: children have no place on the battlefield, regardless of abilities or otherwise. I will not have the blood and innocence of children on my hands. You're asking me to essentially sign their life away. I say we wait until they are elligible to serve before we move on with this. Take this to the rest of the council if you will, but I will not commit to this without good reasoning. Not only that, but I am putting my position as a Council Lead Member on the line for the sake of an illegal project by just handling these documents. You might've just cost me my job.

I'm not going to force you—but again, this isn't illegal and it would be better for them. The elder is 17, far from a child and the younger is far closer to an adult than most citizens are. However, I can see you are uncomfortable with this decision, so I'll offer an alternative.
