No, I did not not miss the question. You seem to have problems understanding the answer. You have imagined historical facts which never occurred - that FDR lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 years of age "sometime" during WWII. Additionally, that the voting age must have then been raised from 18 to 21 at some mysterious time after WWII but before 1971.
The Congress passed legislation, on November 11,1942 which FDR signed that lowered the draft age from 21 to 18 years of age. No legislation was ever passed during WWII to lower the voting age. The Federal Congress did not have the power to force the States to lower the voting age by legislation, hence the need to propose a Constitutional Amendment to lower the State and Federal voting age from 21 to 18 years of age. States may lower the voting age below 18 for non-Federal offices if they so desire.

You are being purposefully obtuse.
I will avoid you in the future on this site. People like you only look for an argument.
If you don't understand a simple question that is your loss.
If you cannot acknowledge that governmental entities chose to LOWER the voting age in 1971 from a higher age previously, then you are not attempting to be honest.
WHY would the age need to be lowered if it actually wasn't higher in the first place? (NO, don't answer .......... you are JUST OBTUSE.)

From Wiki:
"Lowering the minimum voting age was not a new idea. In the United States, some people started trying to get the voting age lowered during World War II. During the war, President Franklin D. Roosevelt lowered the military draft age to 18. This meant that men as young as 18 could be forced to join the military. To many people, it did not seem fair that the government thought these young men were old enough to fight a world war, but not old enough to vote in the country they were fighting for. "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote" became a common slogan.
United States Senator Harley Kilgore had begun supporting a lowered voting age in 1941. Many other Senators, Representatives, and the First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, supported the idea. However, Congress NEVER made any changes.

As you can see here ..... I WAS WRONG.
Allow me to place my head in the sand. Please pull me out for the football games tomorrow afternoon.
Sorry for my incorrect words. (I think I mistook "draft age changes" during WWII for "voting age changes".)
