I am in the military. I've met plenty of 18 year olds that I consider adults. I don't see any reason not to do so. I myself was 17 when my mother and father signed the paperwork for me to enter. Are you saying I wasn't mature enough to be out to sea on the carrier the entire time I was out there? Because I turned 25 at my next duty station after 4.5 years on the carrier.

to be honest, no, I wouldn't say you were mature enough to join the military. I think its a travesty that we recruit heavily amongst dumb teenagers, and send kids to fight wars. Id make enlistment age 25 if I could.

What gives you the expertise to judge whether all 18 year olds are mature enough, and why do you refer to all teenagers as "dumb"?

what gives you the expertise to judge my expertise? And I refer to them as dumb, because they don't know anything.

I could spend a lot of effort here, but why? Your opinion means less than literal nothing to me. Cry your fake outrage elsewhere.

And I and many others think you are wrong. Thankfully, the majority agrees with me.

25 was the maximum age to start school to do my job.

You are making a lot of failed assumptions here. Your opinion is no better than anyone else's.
