State Rep. Fletcher Smith, D-Greenville, is trying to jar loose from a House subcommittee a bill that would exempt military personnel ages 18 to 20 from the state's minimum age for purchasing and possessing alcoholic beverages of 21.
"It treats our military personnel like the adults and heroes we say they are," Smith said. "If you can take a shot on the battlefield, you ought to be able to take a shot in a bar."
