Rep. Fletcher Smith has sponsored legislation that would allow service members younger than 21 to purchase alcohol if they show a military identification card to a bartender or store clerk.
I could not agree more. If we trust these young men and women with a rifle and the lives of those around them, then I sure as hell can trust them with a beer or a couple of shots of Jack Daniel's. In fact, many military folks I know have had alcohol before their 21st birthdays. I, of course, won't mention their names because many of them are still on active duty. A soldier is a tough, responsible person and whether it's a party, or just to take the edge off of a day, I cannot see why we don't allow our boys to have a frosty, cold one.
