... but she can't buy a beer?
Someone figure this out for me. I'm sure many of you are convinced I'm not that smart so help me out.
Now this young woman, Pfc. Jessica Lynch,
can join the Army, go through basic training, learn how to fix M1 tanks (or what ever it is she does), get shipped to Iraq, ambushed, return fire ... maybe kill people, get shot & legs broken and take POW by one of the worst regimes out there (god knows what they did to her), then rescued by special forces and sent to Germany for recovery.
But she can't walk into a bar in the US and buy a beer?
What's up with that?

I enjoy your sense of humor, Scott.
Seriously, there's no national drinking age... states just face the withdrawal of federal money set aside for their interstates if they don't set a minimum age of 21. Sneaky, huh?

Well, you asked. These things happen I suppose.

It's obvious. Alcohol is a whole lot more dangerous than guns, tanks, and Saddam Hussein and his thugs.
And marijuana most dangerous of all!

Naw not me. 19 is way way too young for me. Young women are nice to look at but ... I don't know. I like women my own age. Too bad my wife is older
Of course I am sure such a beautiful person such as Nebulous has her sensibilities about her and would never allow a right-wing nut like ol'e fellowship to lead her a'stray!
LOL!!!

I would agree with everything you have to say Scott if she was drafted. I believe that the drinking age should always stay the same as the draft age. However she choose to be in the Armed Forces so she has no more right to drink then anybody else her age.

Scott is right, if she has the right, or if it is legal to risk your live for your countrie, you should have the right to take a beer. In most democratic countries, the legal age to enter in army is the legal age to drink a beer aka 18 years.
Cheers

so why the hell isn't it the oldest one the most significant/dangerous one.
drop the drinking age or up the draft age.
