I've always thought it stupid that you could join the military and go kill people at 18, but had to be 21 to drink or smoke. The obvious solution would be to make gun ownership and military service require you be 21 though.
It's 18 for military so they can get people right out of high school before they've had a chance to live life.
So 21, and include 2 year college degree as part of the tax supported k-12 education. Make it preschool-14.
Yes yes, I also know they want you to join for college costs too but fuck that.
They specifically DON'T want the majority of recruits to have an associate degree. That would qualify them to be officers, well at least to go to OCS to see if they qualify.
