Yes. I wonder how the landscape would change if it were still that way. I'm not advocating it, just wondering.

I hear that but if you're going to ask some 18 year old kid to put his life on the line for his country in the armed services, seems like he (or she) should have the right to vote.
You know, 18 is a bit on the young side for voting...but your point absolutely rings true.
Can't drink, but eligible to take a bullet, keeps the right to vote.
16 is a ludicrous idea.

21 sounds good but make an exception for the military.
Today's youth is more easily manipulated than ever. That's why Pelosi wants to lower it.

Yes 21 or a member of the US military. 18 years got the right to vote because of the assumption that all qualified 18 year olds would answer their country's call in times of battle, we have found that not all 18 year olds answered the call. some of our Presidents and Legislators were among those that avoided service using whatever means worked including trips outside the country.

Re" the drinking age of 21. That was set because of the high rate of deaths due to DUI of 18olds.
Yeah...but they can also be sent to war. 18.
I suggest that potential drivers must visit an ER and view carnage to pass drivers test...
Worked for me.
