The voting age should be the oldest, followed by drinking and then the draft.
Maybe the military would make so many that aren’t mature enough AT ALL to vote, mature enough.
Not sure why being old enough to serve should mean old enough to vote.
not sure what correlation drinking has to do with the others.
In response to your thoughts, I believe the drinking age of 21 was questioned when there were kids younger than that in the Army getting killed when they had no vote on the war.
Doesn’t excuse the talk now.
16 drink in public, 18 own a firearm, but only taxpayers vote as curated by the new IRS
not sure what correlation drinking has to do with the others.
Let me share my opinion on the matter.
If a person is old enough to be taken by force into the military and given the responsibility to possess and use a deadly weapon, shouldn't that person also be responsible enough to be trusted with the right to vote?
If a person is old enough to be trusted with a deadly weapon, and to exercise his franchise, isn't that person also responsible enough to drink?
Not directly a governmental function, other than enforcement thereof in government courts, but is not an 18 year old mature enough to enter into binding contracts? If so, then s/he is mature enough to vote, serve his/her country, and drink.
Nobody who can’t handle booze has any business ever bearing the responsibility of holding another troops back in combat.
The age to vote, drink, be drafted or purchase a firearm should be the same. Either you're an adult, or you're not.
As for voting, I think you should also be a net tax payer. You know, skin in the game.
