Should the military age enlistment be raised to 21?

In a high school in Texas, theres a table set up in the corner of the tiffin room. Two clean cut men sit behind it, chatting nonchalantly about something unimportant. Theyre trying to get high school students to join the military. except in this particular high school, the students arent allowed to drink soda or supply the cafeteria for lunch because theyre non capable of making healthy meal choices. So the question here is should the military age enlistment be embossed to 21?There are so more speculations about wherefore not should the age be raised. one can be that we would gravel a much smaller military or a dispense of teens who join the military for the benefit for college cannot willing afford to go. But the incident is that an 18 year old kid is too gullible for many reasons.Recently released studies indicate that our decision making capabilities are not amply developed until we reach our early 20s. That data would indicate that not solely would the average teena ger be unable to institute a all-knowing decision in life but also mean that will be unable to make quality decisions while in the service. similarly another hypothesis its, why in to many states, young state under the age of 21 are considered to be too untried to drink alcohol or to vote in this country, but the organization can put a deadly weapon into their hands to make a life or death decision. in order to these there are not sanitary educated to make a well informed decision. Im not saying that something miraculous occurs by the time they turn 21, but that will give them a teensy-weensy more experience to make the right choice. In considering this subject, two phrases have it off to my mind Young and dumb and older but wiser. Those two mark phrases say a lot about maturity and the human mind.So my conclusion is, the government accepts that an 18 year old is too immature to use alcohol responsibly, to leave school grounds, or to pick a college course without some guida nce. But if our culture is willing to accept those as truth, we must also accept that an 18 year old is not mature comme il faut to make a measured decision to go to war-and certainly an 18 year old is not mature enough to engage in that war with a full understanding of what that means.
