Nope, what I forgot to include in my Post, that I have included on other Posts regarding this subject before, is that Active Military should be the exception to the Rule.

Now, to take your point a little further, should those same 18, 19 and 20 Year Olds, regardless of Military Service, be able to Drink and Gamble?

Do you understand that the ignorant Youth of this Country helped saddle us with Emperor Obama?

How about you ask for some clarification before accusing someone of being “sick” because of something they Posted on this Forum?

I also like you making up a ridiculous Premise that my Post somehow indicated that I was “ok with compelling them to die for your safety and denying them any voice in the government that would send them?”

You sound like a 60’s Anti War Activist now working for the Obama Regime.

Best you keep your finger off the trigger before you come up with another stupid analogy.

I'm going to disagree; [legal] exceptions should be rare, not common occurrences.
There is a lot of harm that can be done by keeping things from being simple: just look at our tax-code.

Yes. They have attained the age of majority and thus the law regards them as adults.

Do you understand that the ignorant Youth of this Country helped saddle us with Emperor Obama?

Then is it not the failing of the prior generation to teach them in understanding and wisdom?
This is not to say that they are blameless, but it does say something about the schooling (and the quality or lack thereof) that the prior generation subjected them to by compelling their attendance for over half their lives.

How about you not propose sick ideas?
Your exception system would deny the ability to vote to even those who would serve were they able; my own brother-in-law would have gone in if he'd been able, but wasn't due to medical conditions.

You certainly didn't mention any exceptions prior, nor did you mention that selective-service/draft age should be changed under such a system, so I assumed you meant for those to stay the same.

Where do you get that?

I didn't come up with an analogy; it was an inference.

analogy
noun, plural analogies.
  1. a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump.
  2. similarity or comparability: I see no analogy between your problem and mine.
  3. Biology. an analogous relationship.
  4. Linguistics.
    a. the process by which words or phrases are created or re-formed according to existing patterns in the language, as when shoon was re-formed as shoes, when -ize is added to nouns like winter to form verbs, or when a child says foots for feet.
    b. a form resulting from such a process.
  5. Logic. a form of reasoning in which one thing is inferred to be similar to another thing in a certain respect, on the basis of the known similarity between the things in other respects.

inference
noun
  1. the act or process of inferring.
  2. something that is inferred: to make rash inferences.
  3. Logic.
    a. the process of deriving the strict logical consequences of assumed premises.
    b. the process of arriving at some conclusion that, though it is not logically derivable from the assumed premises, possesses some degree of probability relative to the premises.
    c. a proposition reached by a process of inference.
