No different than 9/11. Kids serving now could have been 6 years old when that happened.

I beg to differ with you.These young people today that are joining the military are doing so voluntarily.When I was growing up I had to worry about being drafted right out of high school.

That’s not meant to demean their entry into the military because I volunteered as well since my draft number was never called.As the military draft had ended.

I get what you’re saying. I wasn’t implying that a voluntary military was the same as being drafted. Simply stating the the durations were similar.
