Since when have judges decided who can cannot join any branch of United States Armed Forces?

Well, if you are in Leftifornia, I suppose it is common practice...
A California judge rejected a foster teen's request for early enlistment with the Marine Corps - and a $10,000 signing bonus - reportedly on the grounds that the judge didn't approve of the Iraq war.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Marilyn Mackel denied 17-year-old Shawn Sage's request to join the military last October, according to a report in the Los Angeles Daily News.

"The judge said she didn't support the Iraq war for any reason we're over there," Marine recruiter Sgt. Guillermo Medrano of the Simi Valley U.S. Marine Corps recruiting office told the paper. [...]

[...] Sage plans to join the Marines when he turns 18 in June and his case has prompted a Republican lawmaker to introduce a bill that would allow foster teens to enlist in the military without the express permission of a judge.
