- dukeyukey 3y agoHonestly, probably not. Even in WW2, the closest there got to 16-year-olds fighting (at least without lying about it) was in the Home Guard (sometimes called the Dad's Army because of its use of retired soldiers), and them fighting would mean the enemy landed on Great Britain itself. It's not impossible, but I imagine something similar would happen in almost any other country under active occupation. Which doesn't mean I think it's good (or bad), I just think the UK doesn't stand out.
