I recall having to fill out the selective service forms for my 18th birthday.

My youngest daughter is an honorably discharged veteran and is currently employed by the Colorado State Patrol. Neither profession is something I would have recommended to her, but I support her

We do a lot of things to protect/restrict minors in this country. They can't enter into contracts, can't buy cigarettes, and can't get married without parental consent in most cases. For the most part, selling or sharing information about minors is prohibited. Hell, they can't even join TFP or have their picture posted here for many of the same reasons. I don't see a compelling reason to make an exception for the military.
At 18, they are fair game.
