“Sorry, but there are a lot of under-21 people serving in our armed forces that have done things for country we can never fully appreciate. Taking away their vote is no place to start. We’ll have to suffer the others.”

I already knew someone was going to say that so I was prepared when I read your statement. I am sorry you feel this way because joining the military does not make you a man. Experiencing the military does, however. I have been in the Army for 6 years and I can tell you right now that the brand new enlisted are just as naive as any other 18 year old. Give them a few years (maybe a deployment in between) and then they can say they know a little on how the world works. I’m so sick of hearing people use that excuse…Joining the military makes you a man. Sorry, but it doesn’t.
