Is there a general loosening of social norms ala Cthulhu Tech (where the age of consent practically plummeted to around, uhm, 11), or is there a system like that in Cadia (from 40k, which has close to 100% mobilization) where personnel are regularly cycled from the front line for mandatory "procreation" time?
In one side story, one country is actually starting to recruit 10 year olds.

Thats just how desperate the situation had become.

And the 10-years time limit has to do with both a dwindling population capable of fighting (and finding people whom are physical fit enough to pilot TSFs) as well as rapidly decreasing resources to fuel the war effort.

Remember bullets and other war material have to come from somewhere, and are finite.
