They are not nessicarily soldiers of tomorrow, there are a lot of possibilities and unknowns, the government can change, they could leave the country. If you're fighting with them, I'd assume that means you're at war with them, so hopefully the war won't last so long that multiple generations fight. The point is, that there are so many uncertainties, that even though they have that policy, you don't know if that child will actually fight, no more than you can tell if that child would sign up for a volunteer military.
