I fon't, but then I don't think chilfren of 16-17 should be in the
active military either..


Why not if they can do the job as well as.. if not better... than some
18-21 year olds?
I agree it's not for everyone, but I had no problems. Thought it was
kind of strange that my country would let me fight a war if needed,
trusted me to transfer nukes (i had a top secret clearence at the
time), but did not trust me with booze or voting.

..TORC and marching corps, fine, but not on
active duty.
