Should we keep the ChildSoldier entry? I mean, the protagonist is called \\\"The Kid\\\", but the narrator is an old man, that\\\'s just a nickname. Plus, the Kid was a soldier in a legitimate army of a mostly-peaceful nation (yes, there was the war with the Ura, but that was at least 15 years before the game begins, because Zia was born afterward), so would he have been able to enlist if he really were young enough to qualify for child soldier status? I don\\\'t think \\\"young soldier\\\" should be enough to be considered the trope.

PS - Now that I think of it, we don\\\'t really know how old the Kid is. I always assumed that he was in his early twenties, but it\\\'s hard to tell with the art style.

PPS - In the WMG page, some quick numbers were crunched: if the kid dropped out of school as early as 12, then he\\\'d be 18 at the youngest. (12 years when dropped out, 5 years on first tour, and 1 more year on the wall.) I say remove the entry, it\\\'s misleading.
