Whose bright idea was it to bump the voting age from 21 back to 18 anyway?
How about the 18, 19 and 20 year olds who were sent off to Vietnam by politicians they never voted for.

“How about the 18, 19 and 20 year olds who were sent off to Vietnam by politicians they never voted for.”

Excellent response. In my opinion, 55,000 men were murdered by the politicians during the Vietnam era.

Let’ em vote. When I got drafted at age 22 into the Marine Corps I had recently voted for the man whose name was on my draft notice. There’s always going to be a “How about....?” but that shouldn’t stop you from doing the right thing. I absolutely believe in the draft. There are now two generations growed up that didn’t have the advantage of having the draft hanging over them and I say that in all seriousness.
Funny thing about us draftees - we seemed to be the best damm qualified recruits in the platoon. Those are the ones you didn’t get any more when the draft went away.
Thanks for your service, 0811. I was a 4111 in the Marine Corps but a 13 Bravo in the National Guard. Same thing as an 0811.
