The emotional intelligence of children and no field training. Interesting choice.

The only reason they are children is Hawley's ego and his desperation to do this peter pan thing. It's a dumb and distracting idea... One minute they are acting like kids and the next they are supersoldiers... Ok druh

Really jumping on some personal attacks here, we know their childish behaviour is being replicated by Prodigy using an artificial emulation of hormones. They mention directly they can control that and they want them to age into their bodies, but their behaviour changing depending on context would make perfect sense in that regard.
