It's almost as if some aren't mature enough at 18 to be in the military.
I agree, but very few self respecting adults are going to voluntarily sign up for a combat MOS, and we gotta keep those gears turning on the military industrial complex!
For real though, I got lucky. Joined at 19, thought I wanted to kill people, didn't deploy until I was 23 and much more in the mindset of "what the fuck this is not me at all"
A lot of the younger guys were vocally disappointed when they found out it was just a peacekeeping mission, low risk. Us "older guys" just said thank God, we'd like to go back to our families at the end of this.
No one is actually mature enough at the age of 18. It's society's norm for matureness because you have to set a somewhat low enough limit for things like this, like enlisting.
Im reality, you mature completely when you're about 25.
