As far as screening youngster's.. What is the appropriate age? Here in the states, you can drink legally from 18 to 108. But yet, when I was in service at 17, no bar would refuse me saying if I was man enough to get shot at, then I was man enough to buy a drink. But over in England, it's 16 I believe. Some places in Europe, unless it changed recently, it could be younger than that.

If you abuse someone younger than 18, it's called, "child abuse", so, why are they allowed to send 17 years olds into war to be SHOT at and killed?? Isn't THAT child abuse???
