While I agree, this argument won't get it passed. Here's why: They used the same argument to get the voting age lowered to 18 in the early seventies. The difference then was there was a draft. Since Nixon needed the bodies, they had no choice but to ratify the Twenty-Sixth Amendment. Because we currently have an all-volunteer military, there isn't the pressure to use the same argument, valid though it is.
