The typical age of Senators and Congress-critters alike is such that almost all of their children are well beyond military service age unless they are "lifers".

This can be fixed with a Constitutional amendment that reduces the minimum age for both offices.

I would have thought the reverse is true. Most of the Senators/Congressman I know of have college age children. The newly elected draft-dodger from New Hampshire is a good example. His son attends the Berkley School of Music in Boston while young ladies are reporting in to ROTC programs at Northeastern, BU and MIT.
