Well, since there's a scarcity of jobs, it's one way
to trim the work force - and high school is plenty
education for 18-year-olds - now they can go out
and learn to maim and kill.  They'll be at risk, too,

never been under fire himself, has no sons, but has
enough pull to keep his daughters home if they
don't want to go ....
