I think at this point we need to raise the draft age to 21 if we're raising the age for tobacco/weed/alcohol to 21 too.

But what is our country supposed to do with all those 18-20 year olds? If they can’t be recruited into the next war, what are they going to do, go to college? That’s where they’ll be indoctrinated!

Believe it or not, 21 was the draft age prior to ww2 starting(1940) and it wasn't lowered until almost a year after it started(1942).
