Fair enough. Not sure I'd go all the way to brainwashed, but maybe 'heavily influenced'. They all had similar access to as many of the ideas/information as were available at the time (which admittedly may not have been a lot).
I'd classify child soldiers in WW1/2 was a less than ideal situation (though perhaps a necessary evil for which we should all be thankful); Khadr's situation was completely f***ed (to the benefit of pretty much nobody).
Apples to fried chicken. Not sure the relevance here...
