when all of us 18 year olds could be drafted and sent to fight a ludicrous war, (pushed by the Military Industrial Complex on us) and yet didn't have the right to vote for three years AFTER we were drafted...........

Also what amazes me, is seeing a major segment the youth in America, totally and completely un-educated about past history.
Which causes many poor choices in their lives, especially in elections and voting.......
(I suppose that could also be said for many of the 70 Million MAGAot Voters.....)
