Definitely a valid argument, though there are two solutions.  You could lower the drinking age, or raise the enlistment age.  Volunteering to kill/be killed is the most adult decision anyone could ever make.  Once someone can make that decision, there should be no other decisions barred from them.


Personally I think the US is a little prudish about drinking (and any sin chemical really)  Most countries in Europe that have much lower drinking ages have equal or lower rates of alcoholism.  Whats the harm?
