It is precisely because veterans are willing to sacrifice their very lives in order to secure out right to self-governance that we ought to treat the voting privilege with special care, and see to it that not just anyone has the franchise. No country that expects to survive should allow uninformed, disloyal citizens into the voting booth. Let them prove themselves to be informed, loyal, and virtuous and then they can vote.
One idea I’ve been thinking about is letting veterans elect a ‘debate mandator’ who can invite guests to debate with politicians, professors, and judges.
The ‘Veteran Debate Mandator’ could have the power of law to FORCE people out of their ivory towers so that people could not only confront them about veterans, but also the ‘money-is-power’ theory can be extolled. The need for a robust economy that can support an expensive military.
