| Message | In some neutral, peaceful, primarily socialist countries, this is a character building experience. It often helps them with higher education and they can socialize with more people in their age group. That said, Al'Badara is not one of those countries. I wouldn't be surprised if they joined the army just to be sent off to war the next day. |
