"Because somehow kids get access to nukes, high power tech suits, armies, empires, and all the like, and can supposedly lead it fine even if they turn out to be a pretty s***ty leader, and c'mon, what kind of group is right in the head if their leaders have been killed, and they put a young TEENAGER in control of the nation?"

I honestly feel this is directed towards me.

Also, 2 things:

1. If that Teenager were to lead a Faction that is a Third-World Power or Superpower or Developing Country, there must be an exact reason why the people are following the orders of a Teenager. Actually, take King Tut for example (and yes, i know this was during the B.C era, but guess what, It still counts, because Leadership in the B.C era isn't that different from leadership in the A.D era, so think about that), according to Egyptian History, He was declared as Pharaoh at the age of 10. Now yes, i know he died at least 8 years later, but it still proves my point. The People had still followed the orders of a 10 year old, all the way up until he died. Now, if you have a better example or something that goes againist that, then go right ahead and tell me (and no, i'm not protesting on how stupid this is, i'm just pointing this information out).

2. You also can't directly point this at teenagers, what about the ADULTS? Even the Adults make some stupid decisions in their life and they also can't magically poof up an army at their hands, there HAS to be a reason! Take Nazi Gernamy for example: Adolf Hitler became leader of Nazi Gernamy (or at least the Military of it) due to him gaining a bunch of followers who were very desperate for change. Though, even though he rose up in power, he made a huge number of mistakes that led to his demise (talking about him starting WWII). So, Teenagers aren't the only one who make retarded decisions when ruling a faction, Adults do that s@#& too. Now, if you have another great example/thing that can argue around this, then go ahead and tell me.
