for various military operations to send out near suicidal missions

There has been a lot of work done on this subject. One reason the Military wants them young is because they think they will live forever, and they are easier to mold. They tried to send the newest troops on "first wave" landing assaults in WWII because the "FNG's" didn't know what they were up against.

You will notice that the Palestinians are picking young fanatics, it's easier to make them believe they are going to Allah.

The men that got the Medal Of Honor, and other awards for bravery, were doing it for their buddies. It is really amazing to read front line stories and see how many guys jumped on grenades.
