Indeed, but if a military can draft you, You should have some say in how you are being used. So I think 18 is the right age for the franchise
Drafting varies by country, I don’t think a draft should exist and if it does, it should apply to everyone, not just males

So in other words because they might not vote the way you want they shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Not really, 18 year olds haven’t faced the real world though, which imo starts after graduating college or graduating secondary school if you choose not to go to college
