SOLDIER BRAT is the fifth episode of the series Obsolete.

Episode Description
"As EXOFRAMES permeate conflict zones, armed insurgents realize they can give EXOs to children and make them fight. Forcing them to operate inadequately equipped EXOFRAMES, they are used as sacrificial pawns dying one after another… Day after day these children have no choice but to endure. One day, a man appears and offers to train them as soldiers."

Summary
Jamal is a child soldier in Sub Sahara, forced to operate an Exoframe. His unit are easily wiped out by the enemy forces, but he and Kayira manage to flee. Back at base they are punished by their Commander until Zahir arrives and explains that he is taking command over the unit, killing the former Commander for his failures. He tells the child soldiers that they may leave if they wish, as he will only mold those who want to be soldiers into ones, with all of the children agreeing to the training.
