This is sort of what I was thinking.
21 isn't so bad, but when you're far older than your pledge trainers? I'd just have a problem going to Iraq and then having to listen to some asshole yell at me whose younger.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
