I'm not sure what sort of opinions you seek. Opinions about what we think of the children's exposure to violence?
Anyway, by raising the children to accept violence as an honorable act, they breed pure solid soldiers. These men aren't going to hold back and think "If i kill the poor guy, his wife, kids and parents arent ever gunna see him again" before he kills. He's gunna think not only is he doing his people justice, he's also releasing the evil person from their deeds. Faith and honor are quite powerful two combinations. Just so happens they understand this and decided to utilize these as a weapon.
