But if we are going to send 18 year olds to die for this country and vote they sure should be able to have a drink without the fear of an arrest.

I have no problem with the above, except I would put a limitation of "ONLY" servicemen/servicewomen can drink at the lowered age. BTW..we don't send just 18yo's to die, they volenteeringly (for pay and benefits) join the armed services the last I checked. Take the pay and benefits out and see how many join just to give back to their country. All of them know what they are signed up for and the risks involved. The draft is long gone.
