I can PROVE that the argument, "If one can die for one's county when one is 18, one should be able to drink at 18" is TOTAL HOGWASH.
HERE'S WHY.
The words, "CAN DIE" is not the same as "DIED" for one's country.
There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between when:
(1) a man turn 18
and when
(2) a man turns 18 AND actually, enlists, goes through basic training and actually serves in a WAR zone (or in HARMS way).
This "18 and go to war and drink" argument is saying that TALKING and DOING are the same thing, of which is totally false.
Talking about going to war, and actually, "serving in a war" are totally different.
Even,
(1) "requiring someone to do something" (e.g. registering of selective service)
and
(2) "to have that someone to actually do something" (e.g. put one's life on the line) is a world of difference.
