Damn straight. A structured environment that doubles as a boarding school is exactly what some children at that age need.

There’s typically a fair bit of schooling a 16 year old goes through before college. Dropping out and joining the military may have benefits, but it’s hard not to see that as a failure by society.

Could not create a better environment for hazing and sexual abuse if you tried.

Military provides a bunch of benefits until it's actually used for its purpose. Then you send a bunch of underage kids to die.
