It's been a little negative around here lately. No apologies, the provocation has been extensive, even without mentioning the thieving admirals and generals. I even got to thinking I was wimping by saying only once that the shutdown revealed the puerile pettiness of Obama and all who wield power in the federal zoo.
But everyone needs a breather, so herein is one of the constructive solutions which will be the hallmark of my campaign to be your president.
My first legislative proposal from my Oval Office will be a resolution to repeal the 26th Amendment. With too few exceptions to mention, young citizens who have not reached their 21st birthday continue to confuse their procreative urges with ratiocination.
I expect the first tweet will hit the air within three seconds and moan "If'n I'm old enuf to fite i Am old enuf to Vot."
I'm ready:
"By golly Joe Bob that's a good point. Thank you, and as commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States, I hereby issue then following order: "No person under the age of 21 shall serve in United States armed forces."
It's a start.

Personally, I'd like to change it to 25. I've read many studies suggesting that the part of the brain that processes risk vs reward does not fully form until the mid 20's. And yes, for the military service, too.
Once in a while my advisory council proposes proposes raising it to about 51, but they've usually been drinking. :)
Twenty-five does make good sense.
