This article is riddled with problems, but two jumped out immediately: 1. Who pronounces it ah-GOJ-uh? Is this an American pronunciation that I have just never come across? 2. Child soldier is a wholly inappropriate term here, both morally and factually.https://twitter.com/whencyclopedia/status/1404727565907025921 …

I've heard uh-go-gee before as a mispronunciation. As for the child-soldier terminology, I'd leap to defend them that I've made that argument...but they don't cite it, so
On the similarities between the agoge and the modern indoctrination of child soldiers, see the last few sections of https://acoup.blog/2019/08/16/collections-this-isnt-sparta-part-i-spartan-school/ … Currently working on a more formal version of this argument.

Hmmm I look forward to seeing your paper when you finish it, for now I am not convinced the comparison is valid - but maybe the full case just needs to be made.

I'll be sure to send it your way for comment once it's ready (though it is currently in the queue behind a few other things, so it may be a while).
