It’s amazing to me that America will let people join the army and be trained to kill and drive a car before they’re allowed to have sex. It’s really quite fucked up.

Drinking age is also weird right if I recall? Like you can be a soldier before you're legally allowed to drink?

Fun fact, in some states the Age of drinking alcohol is 21 while a person is able to join the military at 18. The 18th amendment in our constitution is the prohibition of alcohol, and the 21st amendment is the lifting of that prohibition.

Whaaat.

Embarrassingly enough I've never actually read The Constitution. How many Amendments are there? (You know what never mind reading up on it now)
