dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddGo to War at 18, But Can’t Drink till 21?
How would you feel if you could go to Afghanistan and be attacked by AK-47’s, but be home in the United States and not be able to go to a bar and have a beer or two? Such a predicament plagues people aged 18-20 here in the United States. You could go and enlist to serve your country at eighteen and be shipped to the Middle East, but you cannot go to your local gas station and pick up a Budweiser 24 oz. until you are 21. Such laws are so contradicting just for that fact and it must be changed. I cannot see why it is okay for people to be shipped to Iraq and die for their country, and not be legal enough to enjoy an alcoholic drink in the comforts of their home. If people are old enough to defend our freedom, I think it is alright for them to enjoy themselves an ice cold Bud. Such a social injustice is needs to be fixed and to do so; a proposal to change must be enacted. Such a proposal would be to lower the drinking age from 21 to 18. It would be fitting to do so because at 18 you are legally considered an adult in this fine country and are able to do almost anything except drink. It is just socially in just to allow people to die for what is right, but not allow them to do certain things because of the number of their age.
