Oregon was pondering that too.Apparently Pelosi & some nutjobs are pushing to lower the voting age to 16. If kids can't drink at that age, work without special rules in the workplace, get married without permission, or consent to sex then they why would it be ok for them to vote? Kids at that age would most likely just be voting how their parents told them to vote- and could be punished for voting differently than the parents instructed (unless they lied to the parents about how they voted). It's just a bad idea all around.
I think you should be 21 to be eligible for military service.
If they can carry a gun in the military at 18, they should be able to buy one at the same age.But then you have 18-21 year olds roaming the streets without much to do but get in trouble when no jobs are available. This gives a lot of them a job and able to focus on what they are going to do when they get out plus maybe a GI bill for college help.
We still have gun safety taught in 4H and Boy Scouts.Probably get better instructions and oversight in the military, but I think 18 is still OK..
21 in the military might be nice but I bet a lot harder to get recruits since the 21 year olds most likely would have jobs and wouldn't join because of that.
I believe it happened in Cuba.How about this: they can join the military willingly at 18 but can't be drafted until 21.
I posted this in the Insanity thread, but I think this is a serious problem if the speculation that it is a deliberate attack on our govt employees overseas. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/br...ork-of-hostile-foreign-government-60-minutes/
Politics aside, if our people are having their brains scrambled intentionally by enemy actions then we need to address it & fast. Unfortunately, it becomes difficult to broach for diplomatic reasons. But China is no friend to the US. They want us to buy their cheap crap-- even when it's toxic, but we really should be wary.
Yeah, they confirmed it happened in Cuba & compensated the employees there, but they are not accepting the claims for the possible attacks in China. The attacks are pretty much identical. There have also been a few reported (but not confirmed) cases in Russia.I believe it happened in Cuba.
