1. HUH?
Listen carefully, do you hear the sound of more young minds cracking? Put under undue pressure IMO (That's part of it, the other part is the fact that the only people volunteering are quite unstable to begin with). In fact I saw a piece showing the military actually using war footage to entice new recruits. WAR IS PEACE!
