I think the fact that this isn't the case it exactly the point. Child pilots are such a cliché in anime by now that we expect them to act like little soldiers, apart from the times they're awkwardly romancing each other. Comparatively speaking I think AO is attacking this scenario from a realistic perspective - 14 year-old girls act like 14 year-old girls, kids die and adults have to wrestle with the morality of that.
