Poll: What do you think the minimum voting age should be? And why?

[WinterBorn]

Why? Do you expect we'll need to draft women, ever?

If there is a need to draft men, there will likely be a need to have women in various roles too.

 

[Desperado]

Right now the voting age should be 21 but if we had a draft the voting age should be the same as the draft age.

I would prefer that Selective Service register everyone, regardless of gender.

When we had a draft the military had too many problems with people forced to join. Not everybody is cut out to be military no more than not everybody is cut out to play football or bass guitar. With an all volunteer military we get people that actually want to do the job.

Yes, I know that is your opinion. But how do we know they have not lost some of their mental capacity and are no longer responsible enough to vote?

I say we make the voting age 25-65.

We do have people that lost their mental capacity and not responsible enough to vote. We call them Democrats.

People who worked and contributed to the system all their lives should be able to vote when they are no longer working. You claim you retired from the military. Do you still get military benefits even though you are no longer serving?
