That has always been my feelings too.  Especially back when I was a young kid and I had friends whose older brothers were being drafted.  They were old enoough to take on the very adult matter of becoming soldiers, but they were not old enough to enjoy the adult privileges of having a beer, voting and in some states the ability to marry before they were 21.  The idea of on the one hand expecting someone to perfomrone task as an adult but conduct themselves as a minor in all other matters never seemed fair to me.
