      - There are still a hell of a lot of people enlisting right now. Are they assuming that the military has nothing to do with combat, too? (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 7/30/2004 12:30:21 AM

        I never suggested the voting age be raised in the first place. - Mary Anne - 8/5/2004 12:55:22 PM
        
        Maybe both the enlistment AND the voting age should be raised. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 8/3/2004 4:54:09 AM
