"Observe, therefore, that the doctrine of "compromise" and "moderation" applies to everything except one issue: any suggestion to limit the power of the government." Ayn Rand 1965.
The military seems to be exempt from moderation when it comes to children. Remember, a 17 year old should not go to prison for murder because research on brain development illustrates that the human brain is not completely formed until the age of 25, so decision-making abilities of young people aren't fully mature until then. However, 7-year-olds can participate in medical decision-making. Makes perfect sense.... Well written and researched Amy. Thanks for your dedication to this important matter.
