Are most malleable. That is a good thing for the most part.
\nBut the dark side of the shiny coin if you will, is when a nation,
\nany nation can take a 17 or 18 year old, give him six months
\nof training (read indoctrination}, then give him a gun and instruct
\nhim to go abroad and kill which he does quite efficiently.
\nThese late teen years surely must be the most hazardous in their lives.
\nThey do not know the meaning of life, you might say who does?, but I’ll
\ntell you flat out the first time I personally got a glimpse, or
\nunderstanding of what life might be all about is when I witnessed my first child.
\nI was well into my 20’s. If, at that time, you had asked me to defend my country I would have come to the fore, would not
\nwe all? But other than that had you asked me to go to some
\nshithole half way around the world, I would have given you
\na resounding “FUCK YOU!”.
