Ben,

How much training (official and cultural) did these 18 and 19 year olds get before they were forged into someone you trusted with a weapon?

These men and women have earned that trust.

The spoiled son of a city councilman with connections and money hasn't, but if one can legally CC on campus so can the other.

I'm seeing a lot of folks posting using the best possible example (or themselves) as who should be allowed to CC, but if it's a right for one, it is a right for the other.
