Connie, the voting and drinking age was lowered in Michigan to 18 during the VietNam war for the reasons that you mentioned. I was 19 years old at the time and was in the Army. Due to disproportionately irresponsible behavior by those under the age of 21 engaged in drinking, it was put forth before the voters who overwhelmingly voted to move the drinking age back to 21 in the late '70's.
