    18 years old is an adult. At 10 years old i knew that the iraq war was a war of agression and that jail is better than going to a war where i am going to kill innocent people

        A 18 years old is not a kid. you’re not changing that fact and legally you are treated as an independent and responsible adult.

        While they do not hold responsibility their thinking or decision kids between 12 and 17 generally knows wrong and right when it come to aggression and basic international laws understanding

          LOL i was wondering when you’d bring up the “legally” defense of your wrong position.

          18 years old = kid. the end.

          why do you think they want 18 year olds in the military?

          because at that age, you’re dumb enough to sign up.

          kids.

          it’s the same reason evangelists are fighting tooth and nail to get mandatory jesus in public schools–because kids don’t have the life experience to consider “maybe this is bullshit” and once they’re brainwashed, they’re brainwashed

            A kid soldier is a soldier under 18 under international law meaning a soldiers over 18 is an adult how can’t you understand simple logic like that?

            They want 18 years old in military because they want to biggest number of legal adult in the army. Simple as that.

            You can be dumb at your last day of living that will not made a 90 years old an kids

              again with the “legally” stuff.

              “the people sending me to die in war say i’m old enough to die for them”

              how the fuck do you not see the problem with that?

              18 = KID. yes, 90 year old people are dumb too. that does literally nothing to invalidate my point.

              nice talking to you, i’m done with this. 18 year olds are kids

                You have yet show any argument backing that 18 years old are kids. 18 years old are not kids and fuck them for participating in a war of aggression

                  Most military enlisted recruits are poor people. You’re literally saying “fuck the poor” because they are trying to better their lot in life in one of the few jobs that will pay you, train you, and feed/house you.

                  The military is basically custom built to take advantage of the poor and disadvantaged and you’re over here celebrating the death of someone’s child.

                    Under international laws Iran has the right to defend themselves against soldiers trying to kill innocent civilains . Soldiers that try to kill innocent civilians are terrorists .Like always you selfish Americans only cares about your terrorist soldiers .
