Well I definitely agree with the first part, but I think they were wrong for making it 28. 25 sounds more fair.

I think you were considered a mature adult and were granted full citizenship and the "privallage" to vote at 28.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
