In Western culture, the age of 18 has long been held as the age of adulthood, being legally responsible for your own actions, and picking up the obligations of the society. With that (today) comes the right to vote, and the right/obligation to serve in the military.

People have been known to lie about their age, however, I would suggest that you should not be in such a hurry to go to war.
