法律规定：男人22岁才能结婚，可是18岁就能当兵。这说明了3个问题：一是杀人比做丈夫容易；二是过日子比打仗难；三是女人比敌人更难对付。

The law stipulates that men can't get married until they're 22 but they can join the army at 18. This raises three issues: first, that killing people is easier than becoming a husband, second, that it's harder to live your life than fight in wars, and third, that it's harder to run into a woman than an enemy.
