The minimum age for enlistment in the United States Military is 17, with permission from parents or guardian.
The petition says "if one is old and mature enough to consciously make a decision to join the military knowing that they may very well die for this country, they are also old and mature enough to drink alcohol."
Therefore, this petition seems to be saying that the drinking age in the US should be 17, even though it implies that the age should be 18.
