Am I saying that everyone in the military is immature? Obviously not. Am I saying that the average kid who goes into the military at 18 or 19 and comes out at 22 or 23 is probably going to be just as immature as a kid that goes into college at 18 or 19 and comes out at 22 or 23? Yeah, basically.
Apples and oranges. You're not even addressing my point.

And you have nothing to back up your point other than some unverifiable personal story about some unverifiable military friends.
