Which of the following nations is known to enlist children as young as eight into its army? a. colombia b. algeria c. finland d. canada

It sure isn't Canada. In the first place, we don't have much of a combined military force. The age you can join the full time forces is 17 and you require parental consent.

Finland forces enlistment at the age of 18. It is mandatory for all males to serve in some capacity.

Algeria: voluntary 17 compulsory 19

Columbia: 18 compulsory. But a civil war has been raging for decades. The use of children in the military was documented in a book called Marching Powder. The author stated that there was no age limit but children had to be able to carry a 40 pound pack and fire an AK47 accurately.

The answer is A.)Colombia. I just took the test and got it right!
