Do adult "kids"... (none / 0)

really sign up or not sign up at their parents' whim? I hear this implied over and over, that it is somehow the parents who decide....

- do parents make decicions for 18 yr old kids? (4.00 / 2)
  
  They do if the 18 year old "kid" is living at home with free rent, free food, no job, etc. I'll admit that few parents take their kids to a recruiting station and say, "Sign up or find a cardboard box to live in." But when those "kids" get their draft cards, it will be the parents with the purse strings who decide if they get a plane ticket to Canada or a free trip to the Middle East.
  
  9.2 has two digits. Therefore Pennsylvania was a double digit win.
