One of my kid's ex-friends told her he wanted to either be a cop or join the army. Why? So he could shoot people. That's what he said.

You know what's scary is that they let kids join the army. Like children who in America aren't even allowed to drink alcohol yet can fly to the other side of the world and shoot people dead.

Have you ever read the introduction to Slaughterhouse-Five? Vonnegut goes into the whole thing about how WWII was mostly fought by "children". That's why the subtitle of the book is The Children's Crusade.
