That is true and I see what you are saying Trace. I always felt age 18 was too young to go off and fight in wars. However, throughout human history it was common to train young males for battle. That being said, when an 18 year old joins the service he/she goes through a great deal of training and they are also guided by older professionals who have experience and training.
Personally I never cared for guns or the killing of any living thing. Sadly, human beings can be very violent and destructive.
