Thesis Statement

“ The age limit to enter Military should be raised to 21”.

Introduction

The purpose of this study is to expand the boundaries of our knowledge by exploring some relevant facts and figures related to the issue of raising the age of entering the military to 21. Armed Forces of the United States and resources allocated by the United States are to protect their own interests and conduct of armed struggle, both in their territories and beyond. Commander in Chief of the armed forces of the United States is the president of the United States. All body parts except the Coast Guard are under direct civilian control of the Department of Defense, headed by the secretary of defense.

In order to serve in the U.S. armed forces, the person must be at least 18 years of age and no older than 42 years (Fernandez, 253-265).

This will add more talent and skills in the pool of individuals being recruited by the military. The soldier is a person permanently or temporarily engaged by the army for service or cooperation. It could be either lower-ranking soldier, but also non-commissioned officer or officer.
