17 yo can’t be deployed to a warzone:

> The US has signed an international agreement barring child soldiers. What that means in practicality is only that you are non-deployable until you turn 18. (you must be 18 to actually fight).

> If you graduate High school early yes, you can join at 17 with parental consent, you can ship, train, you can join a unit and be active duty, you are just FLAGGED as non-deployable until your 18th birthday, when the flag is lifted.

I believe 18 year olds are allowed to drink on Army bases.

Only as long as said base isn't in the US.

And the installation commander can keep it at 21. It’s not an inalienable right of younger than 21 service members.
