Can't compare what was in the past or how other countries are doing it. Military towns don't want a bunch of enlistees partying it up every night. If you haven't lived in a military town, then you don't know what its like to have thousands of 18-20 year olds hitting the town trying to get drunk.
Military service doesn't make them more responsible. I had to deal with the bar fights, stelar teen pregnancy rates, and car accidents. Not to mention trying to find a date in HS (and even middle school!).
We are talking about 20,000 directly related deaths per year (100,000 direct/indirect!). Why add to it?
