War is always obscene RH. I honestly don't know what would happen if the age for enlisting was raised to say 21 or older. Would it deter young people from joining up if needed? These days I think it would as there's too much of a technological paper trail by the time they reach 16, NI number etc (which can be traced almost instantly)
My grandad, although returning to a roasting off his parents, was still considered a brave lad for doing what he did. I remember him telling me that, working down the pits afterwards, was even more frightening than fighting in the 1st world war (perhaps the innocence of youth, combined with the struggle to survive though)
