I agree on that part, which is why I said the warning is necessary. But
there can be cases where simply maturity is not important alone, or it may
not come even after 18 years of age as assumed. Therefore, showing it
without warning is wrong, but showing it with warning can and should not be
termed wrong.

Also, while not films, sex education of some kind is advised to be given to
children to ensure that they are not sexually exploited, right from their
childhood. What do you think about that? Are they mature enough to
understand how is an action termed sexual exploitation?

Therefore, while on this issue there can be a consensus, on many others
there can't be. Let us not mix issues, and instead go into one issue in
detail. So forgetting army actions for one, let's look at whether the
warning is necessary, and yes it is. But hiding that information forever
from people is something I am against.
