Teenagers are not equipped intellectually to see all the ramifications of their decisions and are easily impressed by GI Joe war stories. The military enlistment age is 18 (17 with parental consent). The same age as for voting. Do you oppose military recruitment of 18 year olds? If so, do you oppose their voting as well? Yes. BTW liberals oppose military recruiting on college campuses as well, where people are older. Probably...they are places for higher education, not war. I suppose you think teens shouldn't be allowed to get abortions without parental consent either? Yes, in certain cases......when a teen has been raped and her parents refuse an abortion. GOPers are pro.....their people don't do the actual fighting. The military normally votes majority Republican. And its been that way for a long time. Democrats say it'll be different next time, but they always say that. Never has the GOP been so careless with their support of the military. For an example, it was the GOP that voted down an extension to their time home in between tours. I think the military is beginning to see what the rest of have known about the GOP for quite a while.
