young people are better soldiers for many reasons i am sure. we reach our physical peak at about the age of 20, and of course, as said, young people are more flexible.
i often wonder what the american government knows that it doesn't tell its citizens (and the rest of us). i personally would not equate western ideals with american ideals, because there is a gap, just as there is one between western ideals and canadian ideals, and islamist ideals and egyptian ideals, and zionist ideals and israeli ideals.
