If a 16 year old can be treated as an adult and get the ultimate penality any court can lay upon a man, the i think a 16 year old should be able to drink, join the army, get married in any state, drive in any state and buy firearms.

You cant have it both ways.. Why is a 16/17 year old only an adult when they do something bad?

It is not necessary or desirable (yet) to allow 16 year olds in the USMC.

It is highly desirable that 16-year old killers be put to death.

Sure you can.... It's the normal process out there today and has been since the inception of the Constitution.... Example: What is the age to be a Representative, Senator, President?....... They vary and have been spelled out...

Next red herring.......
