One of the most brutal of hypocrisies of ageism manifest itself during times of war when we ask young men and women to put their lives on the line for the defense of freedom either here or aboard.This noble nation turns foul when we realize how many America's soldiers lack the very freedom they risk their lives for and remain second class citizens.Anti-youth politicians disrespect individuals under age 21 by calling them immature children,incapable of being trusted with the right to drink legally.These young people under 21 are not immature children,they are proud American soldiers,many of whom have paid the ultimate sacrifice.While many may not object to the disrespect.
