Check this for a full description: What is the Fedayeen Saddam?

I don't think that could be true about Saddam taking the Fedayeen at 3 to 5 years old.

"The Fedayeen Saddam was established in October 1994, said Michael Eisenstadt of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a think tank originally set up by the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC. He said the date -- earlier than the 1995 origin cited by many others -- came from Al-Thawra, the Iraqi government newspaper."

That would mean the oldest ones would only be 14.
