Age of sexual consent 16

I dont think i really disagree with anything to be honest. Except maybe voting, it seems crazy that your deemed old to fight for your country but not be able to vote on the people who send you to fight that war.
I never knew that the military age in the UK was 16. That's wild to me. Is it the same for males and females? Do they join the active military or is it like a reserve kind of thing?
