Wireplay is correct. If you’re old enough to fight and die for your country you should be allowed to vote.

If youre old enough to fight and die for your country you should be allowed to vote.Our U.S. Armed Forces are voluntary now. If you're not a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, you shouldn't be voting until at least 25 years old, if not older. Look at who the young knuckleheads elected.

If your parents sign you off, you can go in the service at 17 or even younger. Should we give 17 year olds the right to vote? Granted, you can't be drafted until you are 18, but by the time you are drafted it is too late to vote to influence the policies that got you drafted in the first place, so there's really no point in granting the vote based on that fact alone.
I think we should allow property owners and veterans to vote. Nobody else.
