Not only that, but people would go to battle at the age of 17, including some who would go at their own and their family’s discretion, which is mind boggling to say, and is the age equivalent of some high school juniors and most high school seniors.Ĭontrary to going out and risking their lives on the battlefield, these same people-barring the fact that some may be 17 and enlisted while still in high school-are able to go to any local convenience store, gas station, supermarket or restaurant and purchase a lottery ticket in most states. While witnessing the war in Ukraine in disbelief right now, one can only imagine that, as in years past, if heaven forbid the war were to escalate at an even worse rate than it is already at, people would be going to war at the age of 18 in the United States and across the world.
