That would mean your kids would be combat troops, shot at and killed. It was thought immoral when Hitler did it. But even Churchill might have gone that far had Britain been invaded.
”We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!”
It wouldn’t be, Yes it would be the least desired outcome and we wouldn’t need them to arm up but republicans would stay and defend the United States if we were invaded of course half of democrats say if we had a Russian Ukraine style invasion 52% of democrats wouldn’t defend the United States. https://www.wsj.com/articles/home-of-the-brave-rip-war-poll-democrats-fight-enlist-vietnam-soldiers-invasion-ukraine-patriotism-culture-war-isolationist-military-recruitment-11646929607
It kind of depends on the situation, and how old.
The main priority of any war is to protect the freedom and life of as much of the population as possible both current and future.
Therefore the point at which you have to send kids out to fight is often not the point where you should be fighting that way at all.
If your soo out numbered and cannot fight conventionally with the men you have then you should be fighting unconventionally not bleeding your population for a Pyrrhic victory at best.
Who is going to invade "America"? The Canadians? The Mexicans? You people are bloody paranoid.

It wouldn't be necessary. There are so many people in the USA with guns and tons of ammo that no country could successfully take over the USA. There are over 700 million legally purchased guns in the USA and billions of rounds of ammo bought each year by civilians.
If some fool decide to enter your house would you think it's immoral to give some thing to your children to defend themselves against that or those fools?
I don't have kids but I would attach a bomb to me pet dog, remote detonate it if necessary
They cannot be armed without training first. Ordinary people joined the Ukraine army and had to be trained when receiving their first ever weapons. I have not found any evidence of children being armed. If the Ukrainian army which has always been small prior to the war does not arm the kids then I'm sure the United States will not arm the kids here. Our army is big and strong already.
It might be immoral to not do so. Invaders might think little girls are fair game to rape. Or maybe they are of the ilk that killing all the males is in their best interests.
Anyway lots of people teach their children how to handle firearms. I knew how to load, shoot, and clean my grandfather's 12 gauge and.44 before I was 12.
If the USA was invaded, who would want to risk their lives to defend it? Black people, who believe they're oppressed and literally being hunted for sport when they go outside? White people, who are decried as the evil monsters who need to fade away? Hispanics, who want to reverse Texas colonize the place from the gringos?
Interesting question considering the US gun laws. How is letting kids own (but not buy) long guns a moral decision? In 30 states there is no minimum age, in 1 other 14 years old and in 2, 16 years old. What possible justification can there be for a kid to legally be in possession of a long Uzi sub-machine gun? Totally 100% immoral.
America is fully occupied now and almost owned by foreign entities which means our Businesses and Economy are controlled by the occupying Nations. Wake the F up...
Last time when ''America'' was invaded, it was Europeans with the intention to steal ''YOUR'' (?) land.
''American'' kids are already regularly killed at school. Why send them to ''war'' ?
As a Texan, you know the US is already constantly being invaded.
'Children" is a broad term. How old are we talking about?
Well if the useful idiots (radical leftists) keep pursuing communism then an invasion may night be impossible. Seriously I bet people like AOC would cheer on an invasion by communist China
If it got invaded, then it makes no difference. The laws of the land fall under martial laws.
Well as a last line of defense, not by sending them to the front. Ie they should guard the homes when the army is elsewhere.
I will give any AK to any kids who have self determination and is able mentaly to make a decision.
Fight for your country! Fight for the enemy! Or run from your country and the enemy!
It would happen anyway. A kid that fears for its life will grab a gun.
If you are invaded, it is your choice to defend it there are so many adults with guns and know how to fire them any country would run with its tail between its legs wishing that never step foot on it
What's the problem? They're already tooled up. They'd just go from shooting their classmates to shooting Russians or whatever...
Simples...
It's already being invaded by immigrants and they are all celebrating your replacement.
Guns now have more rights than women do, so, apparently, it would be "ok" to arm children, right?
They are armed now. China could invade and beat America right now. We have too many Spoiled she males now.
No. But I'm sure it wouldn't be necessary. Not with 14,000,000 veterans. And 50% of the guns in the world are in the USA
