Why not...if 18 is old enough to get sent to Iraq seems like it's old enough to have a Budweiser.

army national guard is 40 for sure. But the actual army is 17-39

According to my little brother who spent a year in Northern Iraq, the majority of Iraqis are very nice.  They are also very thankful that we are there.  After all, 90% of the insurgents are NOT Iraqi.

Age \n\nOne would think that age would be a simple category.  One is old enough, or too old, right?  Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work that way.  By federal law (10 U.S.C., 510), the minimum age for enlistment in the United States Military is 17 (with parental consent) and the maximum age is 35. This is to ensure than anyone who enlists on active duty can be eligible for retirement (20 years of service) at the mandatory age of 55 (60 in some cases). However, DOD policy allows the individual services to specify the maximum age of enlistment based upon their own unique requirements. The individual services have set the following maximum ages for non-prior service enlistment: \n\n\nActive Army - 42 \nArmy Reserves - 42 \nActive Air Force - 27 \nAir Force Reserve - 34 \nActive Navy - 34 \nNaval Reserves - 39 \nActive Marines - 28 \nMarine Corps Reserve - 29 \nActive and Reserve Coast Guard - 27\n\nHowever, prior service enlistees can receive an "age waiver." In most cases, the amount of age that can be waived depends upon the amount of time the individual previously spent in the military. For example, let's say that an individual has four years of credible military service in the Marine Corps and wants to join the Air Force. The Air Force could waive the individual's maximum enlistment age to age 31 (Maximum age of 27 for the Air Force, plus four years credible service in the Marines). For the Marine Corps, the maximum age of enlistment for prior service is 32, after computing the prior-service age adjustment.\n\nGod Bless you and the Southern People.

Well as to date America has over 17,000 wounded soldiers that are missing arms, and legs, or both. Most of them  the ages 18-25 and it's for the rest of their lives. This isn't including the 100,000 men, women, and children the Iraqi's have lost due to America's invasion. The American death toll in addition the wounded is around 5000. I have gotten this information from the U.S.GOV. web-site. America has absolutely no diplomacy policies or programs going on with the other surrounding Countries that have concerns with Iraq financially in the Middle East region. Iraq's infrastructure is still in shambles, and they really have no way to support themselves without the aid of the United States military. There is also a Civil War going on in Iraq, and Iraq doesn't have any present Government system in place; because they can't agree who's going to be in charge. It's a mess that's what is going on.

I think that many children are starting to sit up and take notice because things are not the same as they were six years ago. Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins going to Iraq. Soldiers being killed on what seems to be a daily basis. These aren't things that will escape their notice. Unfortunately, with the current administration, the age of childhood innocence isn't what it used to be.

Have a huge 'draft' - any male over the age of 18 is automatically in the military.  Most of the 'bad' stuff happening, in Iraq, is from the insurgents entering from other countries.  These people need to be stopped at the borders and not be allowed in.  Once the insurgents are stopped - then maybe Iraq can be a country on their own again.

Usually someone in the US Army is old enough to date.\nThe age of who he can date is probably up to the local state, if the base CO does not say otherwise.

Actually, there are already over 100,000 Iraqi soldiers trained and operating in Iraq. The deal is, it takes time for the battalions to mature and become fully self sufficient. It's  one thing to train individuals on how to fight and become soldiers; but these soldiers need good, well-trained, officers and seargents to lead them. These leaders take time to develop.

I was in the military. It depends on how long the person was in the service, and what rank they are when they retire. There is a percentage base. 20 years of duty is the minimum for about 60% of their base pay only. Each year long then 20 adds points to the percentage, that is why some people stay in a long time, "lifers" so they get the full maximum percent.

I love when people quote on there opinions rather than facts. New poll (gallop) shows that 71% of Iraqs are better off today and 90% say that we should not leave till there secured.

I guess you're talking about the last US election. The report linked below says that 18.4% of the voters were 18-29, meaning that 51.6% of citizens aged 18-29 voted, the highest in the last 4 elections at least.
