Why so young?

It amazes me that the Nephites would choose a leader for their armies who was only 16 years old. If they were righteous I could believe that they saw the Lord in Mormon’s life but they weren’t righteous.

He says it was because he was large in statue and I believe his report, it just seems shortsighted to pick simply on the basis of size unless they had been so long in peace that they simply had no experienced soldiers to lead them.
