They don't trust 18-year-olds to tell the people with guns who to shoot at, or where to drive the trucks, though.

Anyone who has operated in a student-run organization will tell you that when you're doing anything complicated (like managing a college IT department), the ~4-year limit on institutional memory is a serious issue, especially when it involves people who mostly don't have the experience to be proactive about documentation (and, I should note, institutional documentation is not an easy problem for organizations filled with seasoned professionals).

Both soldiers and drivers can be alone for hours and sometimes have to make life-or-death decisions during that time.
