The Military and Teens


Discusses the military since the founding of the nation

This guide covers some of the major issues young adults , male or female, should consider before joining the armed forces. Although each branch of the military provides print and electronic materials on what it has to offer, very few books deal with the pros and cons of military service. From deciding to serve to what it's like to face death, be forced to kill, be discriminated against, and to life afterward, this work presents the benefits and downsides of military service.
