I mean, they're going off to some foreign land where there's a war and there's no guarentee they may come back alive. And what if the 18 year old who goes off to war is still a virgin? I'm sure this has never really been asked, but I've been wondering about this for a little while now.

I think an 18 yr old who is more concerned about getting laid, should not be a good candidate to go to war because he lacks the maturity.
Oh wait, my statement essentially ruled out 80% of all soldiers in Iraq right now!
Emotionally immature people such as most 18 yr olds would not be capable of handling the intense emotional roller coaster encountered in wartime, especially a very unpopular war when the objectives are very suspect. What this means is that while there, they are more likely to end up killing a civilian or commit fratricide or some other heinous act. Also when they come home, they are more likely to suffer from a serious or chronic mental illness--as evidenced by the increased rate of suicide, assault and murder committed by returning soldiers. This is a fact.

It is a great question.
It has been asked by many who served.
In all the wars of the USA, Vietnam was perhaps the one with the youngest killed, not to say that in the Civil War many thousands died but that was “different” in many ways. That is another “Answer”
The Australians in a film “The Virgin Soldiers” approached the topic: brave lads all, eager, many draftees, just go forth and well, die.
I see some of the answers posted are well vulgar. From say 17 year olds?
The young women who read your question may say “better”, how about a “first kiss”, “hug”, “Love”? Those unanswerable question women have for men.
I was a lad of just 18, barely, when I faced the “event’, call it that. But we in wars previous had an “industry” of R&R’s if one lived long enough. Today’s Army view seeing a “hooker” as close to treason? What children are they who wrote that regulation? “Article 15’s” and such punishment.
Not to get this “sad” but when in Vietnam, my close friend never made it to R&R,
I always wonder but when I got to Australia: no I did not seek out a “woman of the night” but applied for a R&R “Family” options: spend a few days with a “real” Aussie family on a farm. Worked out great: her dad was WWII, Malaysia, POW hated the “yellow B%$#ard” and we had fun, no I never tried to touch her. I had an advantage as my mum was Welsh, they were Scottish.
But since “you asked”, just to have a ‘real” life for those days, made all the difference to me, yes I wanted her, actually wanted to join the Australian Army but well, I just went back to the ranch in Colorado.
I think, believe, that what you said is “right on”, yet it is not “sex” but just having a chance for love. Trust me the last hand most of held was one of our brother in battle, but I know what you are asking, but a birthday dance in Australia that Fall of 1969 was grand, the girls pouring out in the grass or drinking my beer as I could not keep up with my new Aussie mates, the dance, the fun, the act of getting a chance to take her to dinner, was ALL.
Oh, I went back to combat, survived, married –what now- four decades –not 40 years but hit the late 70’s, but I still recall my feelings, say urges, as if it was last Tuesday.
I gained the most: got that love and gentle hug, soft kiss, and that is what you asked?
A very cherished memory of Australia.
love - kindness - a woman's touch is just Hope and love.
They know a bit more than we "lads"

ok... the reason I wouldnt pass out with you isn't your values... besides the fact that that wouldnt help. My significant subject would be with your judgemental physique of suggestions in the direction of females and your finished intolerance of people who dont proportion your perspectives on intercourse in the previous marriage. additionally a female isn't "used" by skill of a guy she has intercourse with, as a consensual sexual parter there is no ingredient of abuse or misuse... in basic terms mutual exhilaration. Thats the ingredient. And why do you assume that ladies will advance out of enjoying an lively intercourse existence? Im hoping to not, and maximum females dont attain their sexual top till previous due Nineteen Twenties/early Nineteen Thirties besides so theyll in all probability get extra sexually lively in the previous they decelerate! And why do you assume all of us prefer to get married finally in any respect? I dont comprehend what you had to hearken to interior the way of help. Im effective this wasnt it, yet those are my suggestions on what you had to assert.

"Yes, Democrat girls always want to have sex with Republican Military boys.
That's the way it's always been.
And always will be.
(Unless Democrat men start becoming masculine and joining the military.) "
^ yea that statement was just all around stupid. Just because I'm democrat doesn't mean I follow the stereotype. I'd fight and die for this country. As for the topic at hand, its been my experience that yes attractive women will want to have sex with you(normally not at random).
