How the hell was 18 years not enough for you to teach him to adult? Infantilization of young adults needs to STOP.

You’re right. But to be honest, my previous comment was a bit harsh and exaggerated bc of some stuff going on rn. He’s smart and capable of a lot. He knows what it means to be an adult. I meant it more in the sense that just because someone turns 18, doesn’t mean they’re ready for all aspects of the “real world” from the get go. In our young adult years we do stupid shit and make bad decisions as we figure it out. There’s a learning process. Even in my age I still learning and figuring out.

Hence my opinion that 18 is too young to serve in the military.
