We need the younger ones for the lower ranks. They don't believe that they can die, they tend to lack independence of thought and they tend to be healthier given proper exercise. Oh and, by the way, you don't have to be 21 to drink on base or in many foreign countries. I got most of my (stupid) drinking done between the ages of 17 and 21.
