Yes, they are all so young to Teal'c (even moreso now. *sniffle*)

It is my personal fanon that in addition to doing what he had to in order to save his comrades and the Asgard knowledge, that Teal'c considers the memories of those fifty years, the shared struggle, the sacrifices, and the opportunity to watch over them all as compensation. He would want to honor that, and should the necessity ever arise, he would be honored to bear witness to that.
