You know that.

Except for very specific training, weapons and ammo are prohibited out of their lock-up. The only people that routinely handle weapons are, surprise, The Military Police..

I noticed you said "off to war" - are you going to conflate war zones with the rest of the military? Surely, you aren't saying we should treat the US as a war zone as it relates to 18 year olds???
