Some are gonna say: if you can send a 18 year old to war, you can allow him to buy cigarettes. But they are getting it backwards. You should not be able to send a 18 year old to war.

Around 10% of our military is 17-19. I'm not saying I do not agree with your sentiment. But that would be a big change to how the US runs things.
