said, look at our military now, it's filled with "kids". A good percentage of those enlisted are 18-30 right now. We just need to face it, we are getting older and not everything can remain the way we saw it when we were 8 years old.
Yeah I agree with this. When I first saw the picture of the woman playing Scarlett, I initially thought that she was too young. Until I discovered she's about one week older than me. That changed my whole view on this.
