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.
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?
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 ask for some clarification before accusing someone of being “sick” because of something they Posted on this Forum?
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.
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 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.
You sound like a 60’s Anti War Activist now working for the Obama Regime.
Where do you get that?
Best you keep your finger off the trigger before you come up with another stupid analogy.
I didn't come up with an analogy; it was an inference.
analogy
noun, plural analogies.
- a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump.
- similarity or comparability: I see no analogy between your problem and mine.
- Biology. an analogous relationship.
- 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.- 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
- the act or process of inferring.
- something that is inferred: to make rash inferences.
- 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.
Thank you so much for the clarification.
Sorry for confusing Analogy with Inference. I will attempt to not repeat that mistake in the future.
I appreciate the time you spent looking up and listing the definitions for me. How courteous and thoughtful of you.
Nice move doubling down on your “sick” accusation by the way. Very smooth indeed. I explained in my response to you that those serving the Military should not be denied the Vote, yet you still persist because you disagree with me regarding that exception.
I will assume that my explanation of the mistaken omission in my first Post regarding that belief was insufficient in your eyes, yet there it was.
You think the 18 to 20 Year Olds deserve the Vote and I think they have not had enough Life experience to value the impact of that Vote on the Country. So be it, but don’t try and drum up the idea that I, a person you have never met, has some disdain for the same 18 to 20 Year Olds serving in our Military.
Good night my FRiend. This has already gotten out of hand.
