the average age of a rifle grunt in Vietnam was 19. I would assume that is true in today’s military as well. If as Blooming idiot suggests that at 19 they are not mature enough to have a weapon then the miltary should be rejecting them and they should not be voting either.

PFC Vincent Antonio Mattola Age 19 KIA Feb 23, 1968 - Medford MA. Bloomy is from Medford. I guess he didn’t know him. He was at Solomon Brothers by then.

I’d love to see your documentation for that. The average age of a US Vietnam War fatality was 23, the median about 20.5.
