I think we should be disgusted at that tactic. Is a 20-year old easier to brainwash than a 40-year old? They sure are! And does a 19 year old want to rebel against the establishment? They sure do!
This is a simple case of smart predators ensuring somebody else is always available to do their dirty work!

Yep, it's disgusting, unfortunately it's also exactly what the US does. They recruit at high schools in poor neighbourhoods and promise them money and a college education and then they send them off to die to make the rich richer. What could be more fucked up than that?
