Laws, ordinances & statutes should

[BlasterBob]

I am a believer that the laws, ordinances and statutes or whatever should be adjusted or changed to allow military personnel to be served alcoholic beverages beginning at age 18. Yes, some of the younger guys get a little rambunctious when they get a few in them but they are old enough to wear the military uniforms, get shot at and even die for our Country etc., so why not.
Another thorn in my side was when I was in the Army, a SFC and I drove a pick up into town during duty hours to get some lumber to make some modifications at the NCO club. We were in clean fatigues and were stopped in town (Fairbanks, AK) by an MP and told to head back to base/post immediately. The old SFC told the MP that we'd do that when we were finished making our purchase in town. He also told the MP (who I guess was only doing his job) that we can fight and even die in these fatigues but the public can't see us in them??
