| Army seeking congressional approval to allow 10 year olds to enlist. |
|
Immediately after winning approval from Congress to allow Women to participate in combat zones, the Army is pushing for an approval to allow the enlistment age to drop to the age of 10.
Recruiters have stated that this would increase the amount of enlistments and prevent a mandatory draft.

I was about 10 years old during the first Gulf War. I wanted to be a "synchronized killing machine of democracy!"
Glad my opinions have changed since then...
