The ACA allows children to stay on their parent's family insurance all the way through 26, and on their parent's tax return through 24. So you want to talk about the hypocrisy of "18 for military, but 21 for drink/tobacco" let's also talk about why the age cut off for the ACA/IRS isn't 18 too, it is only self-consistent with that argument. If you're really a full adult at 18, let's consider what that would look like, even when that means cutting the cord in ways that provide benefits to young adults (e.g. like essentially blackmailing families into paying for their "children's" college via their parent's income being used to calculate assistance and loan qualification). It is unreasonable to consider this "multiple age of responsibility" topic from one vantage and not the other.
