If 18 year is old enough to serve in the miltary then they should be old enough to vote. I understand the agrument but don’t agree with it.

We still require them to wait until 21 to buy adult beverages. The same argument could be used in this case as well.

I think I would rather allow 18 to drink and wait until they were 21 to vote.

No argument at all, in fact I would be tempted to go back to a time in history, when women had influence on the votes of their spouses and children, but no legal vote themselves.Male property owners OTOH had what amounted to an incentive to vote. Making things easier, for voters, lowering the voting age, and “giving” women the vote has only brought us to this point in time, and that is not necessarily good.
