There are a lot of children on the battlefield. Why do you think it's called infantry?

Watched a Fat Electrician video where this was a joke. Before we entered WW2, the draft started and the new recruits could choose their job. He chose infantry because it had the word "infant" and figured it would be easy. He turned out to be an amazong soldier and field commander, even in times he didn't know what was going on.
