There should be a unified age for everything; purchasing firearms, voting, joining the military, consent, financial contracts. What that age is? I dunno...
Brain development squarely places it 21-25 range. The military rejects this because their own studies show that if they don't get their hooks into kids under 18 the enrollment rates fall off a cliff.
Birth rates would also fall off a cliff, as would the workforce.
