Odd, the military doesn't mention this as one of the benefits of signing up at all. Don't they know that they're giving 17- and 18-year-olds a badly distorted pictures of what the military can be like? Aren't they aware of the latest neurological studies that show that human brains don't complete some critical frontal lobe development until a person is in his or her early 20s? As a result, these young people don't have the mental tools necessary to evaluate a two, five or eight year commitment?
Why does our society let the military recruit such vulnerable people?
