I have to agree that is crappy.Then again I feel that 18 is too young to go into the Military.That is just my opinion and I believe I probably wouldnt feel that way if we were not at war. I just hate to see someone so young go right into it and end up in Iraq and possibly not ever come back.

In the UK the drinking age is much younger.. but there is still a lot of binge drinking. Actually a lot more than in the states on average...
