NH Official wants to lower drinking age for troops



The Daily Iowan is trying to put lowering the drinking age on the map, using a New Hampshire proposal as a starting point and actually nailing down one area legislator (Dave Jacoby) for some quotes that are unfortunately too ambiguous.



Mixed feeling: I despise the concept of special privileges for the military, but like the idea of lowering the age. If the war puts the issue of the age of majority on the table, I suppose that's a small good thing out of a big bad thing, but it won't really go anywhere until, inevitably, Bush starts to pust the draft (probably right after the midterm elections).
