I'm gonna flip it the other direction & say this, about that.... I think under 21 year olds should not drink. I also think under 21 year olds should not be recruited & sent to wars, or illegal occupations. I think this for the same reasons the MADD lady did- they are not yet mature. It does seem ass backwards crazy that kids are considered "adult" enough to go to war, but not drink. In many cases, one has to be 21 in order to sign contracts, of which the military enlistment agreement IS a contrat (one of the worst ones out there in my opnion-- that clasuse that says they can change all the rules for any reason at any time. In order to be in compliance with truth in advertising regulations, they shoud have billboard sized signs with the section 9b of the contract so people can damned well know-- be forewarned-- know what the hell you are signing. Because no matter what the recruiter tells you, it is null and void once you sign. No drinking, No war. They are still a *teen* after all.
