lots of good points, i'd agree an 18 year old youth is not a child.
also a good point about the drinking and smoking age being different to the enlistment etc age is hypocritical, on the other hand we all do agree that smoking cannabis is best left to mature adults in most cases. so medically it might be a sensible rule to make it 21.
speaking of age etc, i recently read an article saying that in this day and age kids are allowed to be kids for longer and that the new 25 is now 30. i think, from a mental maturity point of view they may well be correct.
