Maybe they should recruit older people, instead of younger.

I agree. Old people send young people off to fight endless wars for ungrateful nations. And their offspring rarely do military service themselves.

Let the 16 year olds enjoy their youth. Let the chicken hawks step up before they send the youngsters. Our wars would be fewer and a lot shorter if that was the case.

Yep.

I was in the process of enlisting, had scored very well on the asvab(I think that is what is was called), had a SAT score in the top .05% SAT score and was super fit and the minute I showed a bit of interest at 18 they wouldn’t leave me alone and promised the world

My dad, who was in the south pacific on his 18th birthday killing people (he enlisted on 17th birthday)and was somewhat crippled during the war looked at me and said don’t a g******** thing they tell you and don’t do it.
