To become a service member in the Georgia National Guard you are required to be of legal age and that is 18 years old (17 with parents consent). The rumors of us having child Soldiers to assist local law enforcement in protecting lives and property is false.

This statement alone was enough for Snopes to deem this a "FALSE" story and giving it 8 pinnochios or whatever.

Camera angle and distance, as well as the fact that some of the pictured Guardsmen were standing on surfaces of different height, combined to create a perception of persons seemingly too physically small to be of requisite age.

But I am unconvinced still If you'll just hear me out; that was definitely a child army fielded in Atlanta in 2020.
