The RG's "threadbare" blabber is sloppy thinking.  Our age laws should be consistent, logical, and based on the ability of those under 21 to asses the long term implications of their decisions.  The draft age should be 21 until Congress explicitly and overtly lowers the age in time of national need.  No young man or woman should be allowed to enlist in the military at age 17 even with parental approval.  Enlisting during the ages of 18-21 should require parental approval until Congress legally lowers the draft age.  Our young people, the military, and the nation will all be better for that age change.  so what is the next age related issue we should review?
