YOUR CONDUCT UNDER THE LAWS OF ARMED CONFLICT

"The laws of armed conflict tell you what you can and cannot do in combat situations. With the training you receive, you will have the necessary discipline to do the right thing. But if you do not learn how to conduct yourself in combat, you will be punished for mistakes."

I used "boys" not in a pejorative way like the person I was quoting, but in the general "our boys" sense. I am curious as to where you got your stats on the average ages, as well as the friendly fire rates, which according to this site are inaccurate.
