TRUE THAT!!!! :clap:  We're old enough to defend the country but not old enough to have a beer!!! You'd think that when soldiers get back from war they would like a nice cold beer but cant because they aint 21!! thats some bull shit.

 

Marijuana should be legal too.  :headbang:

When you are in the military you can buy liquor and beer on post even at 18. If you are defending the country you can drink. :cheers:

I remember one saying that it is illegal for 2 or more cats to hang out at an intersection. That one always stuck in my mind. In Texas, it's also illegal to commit suicide. But what's the penalty for pulling it off? It's also a criminal offense to be gay. Just a misdemeanor, but still :cheers:

Maybe that's true. I was active army from 94 to 98. I was stationed at Fort Jackson South Carolina, Ft. Polk LA and Ft. Bliss Tx. I was under 21 and could drink at all three. I must just be a retard. Hell, maybe they just had a good chain of command.

 

I have to ask my brother. He just got out last year from Ft. Bragg. It sounds like that guy knows more than I do. I'm just saying how it was for us.

We must have had lack of command because heres the rules.. he was pretty close ... Here is the rules... I found it while doing a search...

 

 

 

We've asked this question in the past, but it was so much fun, I thought we would ask it again.

 

Up until 1982, active duty military personnel could consume alcoholic beverages, while on any federal military installation, regardless of state drinking age laws.

 

In 1982, Congress passed a law which required military bases to comply with state drinking age laws, except in cases where the base was within 100 miles of a border with a lower drinking age.

 

Of course, there's the time-honored argument that if someone is old enough to fight for their country, and volunteers to do so by joining the military, they should be treated as adults in all matters (including drinking).

 

On the other hand, advocates against lowering the drinking age claim that keeping the drinking age at 21 for everyone, military included, saves countless lives each year.

Damn advocacy groups anyhow.

 

Oh back to the main question, I think there is a law in the twin cites that says it's illegal to drive a red vehicle because it scares the horses. The law is still valid but not enforced.

 

A personal experience with a stupid law. Having a passenger on an ATV on private property in Iowa $42.00 fine.

 

EDIT: it's also against the law to chase fish with a fourwheeler in Iowa.
