OK, it seems that congress forced the military to change. So, I am wrong. Although the marines still allow under 21 drinking. Everyone else was forced to submit to the local state law for the consumption of alcohol.
The only exception to this rule is if the base is located within 50 miles of Canada or Mexico, or a state with a lower drinking age, the installation commander may adopt the lower drinking age for military personnel on base.
My apologies. I feel that for military personal under 21 drinking is fine.
