On radio this morning

I think the topic this morning was on why 18 yr olds have to serve NS but are not allowed to vote. I was daydreaming again as usual so I'm not too sure.

But these 2 listeners' contributions caught my attention:

1) Being able to get pregnant doesn't necessarily make you competent parents.

2) At 18, you are enlisted to train but it's the operationally ready NS men, ie 21 yrs & above, who are put on the frontline during war. (Really ar? I never knew this :P )
