* [[Child Soldiers]]: Listen to Ranger Andy's story and he will tell you that the Legion have no issues with using child soldiers for suicide attacks against the NCR, knowing that the NCR soldiers will hesitate before they start shooting. When visiting the Fort, you can also see some young children training to be full Legionaries. |

** Those children have an even worse implication: Even in the NCR, many soldiers joined the active military at 16. Those aforementioned Legion ''children'' are expecting to be allowed to fight soon. Therefore it's likely the Legionaries become active soldiers very young. There is even a story about Lanius in which he (conflicting his usual story) became a soldier at ''age 12''. While that seems to be the exception, there is also Chief Hanlon, who tells us that anyone who survives 10 years as a soldier in Caesar's Legion is exceptional and can be considered a veteran, since most of them die long before that. Think about that for a moment, and then about [[Teens Are Monsters|how old most of those Legionaries you are fighting probably are]]. |

** There's also the fact that Legionnaires you meet/fight ingame are on average shorter than most NPCs. Their shorter-than-average height does indeed imply that many Legionnaires you fight are rather young, barely adolescents at most. |

* [[Democracy Is Bad]]: The Legion is at war with the NCR because Caesar is ideologically opposed to their democratic form of government. He considers democracy as an extension of the corruption that existed during the Old World and is ultimately doomed to fail. |
