Frankly I don’t see how that argument addresses my point that both world wars had 16 year olds serving.

That was need and necessity. This is foolish ego at work. She's fighting no enemy. She's living a fantasy that could, and may still, kill her and it serves no purpose. All she gets are bragging rights. Is that worth her young life?

and it serves no purpose

Human achievement serves no purpose?

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

Was it really necessary to send 16 year olds off to die for their country?

Or did they serve out of desire?
