7. Talking points I came up with:
1. If the military is going to blame this on youth and a collegiate atmosphere, they may have a point.

Prior to McGovern raising the draft age, it had been 21.

These days, we need to move the draft back and also not allow kids under 21 to register without a parent or judge's signature.

Did you know the military recruits in high schools and parents cannot stop their children from signing up the day they turn 18?



2. The Swift Vets cannot deny war atrocities happen. The last time they did happen was about a year ago, according to the digital cameras.
