This is sexist. They are 17 for a month or two. Better than 19.
Why is it better? What difference does it make? Gap years are a thing. Military service is a thing. You go when you are ready and that’s not 17 for the vast majority.
Military service is not a gap year. It’s silly. Get a job, military, college or trade school. Only rich are traveling it’s basically a rich kid thing.

Turning 18 during the school year Senior year is different than turning 19.
Who is turning 19...?
The Anti-Redshirt crusade can never do math.

Anonymous wrote:This post is a straw-man argument because almost nobody redshirts their kid. Even the vast majority of kids born between October and December start on time. I started a year late because I'm small and would've looked like a hobbit next to my peers, but I'm over 30 now and can count on one hand the number of people I know, myself included, who were redshirted. So you just sound like a hammer looking for a nail.
