human rights... a breach? this is completely ridiculous and stupid. How is this seen as a breach in human right's when human right's is a right that is belonged justifiably to every person. I myself have made a choice to go trough the royal marine commando training. for them to insinuate upon things is out of line everyone in life makes their own choices i have made mine. this is basically sticking your noses in peoples business stay out of it! and focus on your countries matters if 17-18 year old's joining the military is a big problem is it really bigger than poverty and all the countries being battered by their own people? i don't think so.. royal marines are so well trained and brilliant because of the age they enlist and train young men and boy who are already physically and some mentally tough they become even more focused mentally and tough physically after 32weeks they become brute soldiers that help fight a war today that is so deadly . why prevent such an elite thing from occurring you american's need the training the UK has. RMC its a state of mind :)
