Government employees are the ones that shouldn't be allowed to vote. They have interest only in their salaries and benefits, and are non producers by definition.

Does that include the military who are also Government employees?

Yes, actually. I would even go so far as to say that unless a person pays more into the treasury in taxes than they get back, they should not be allowed to vote.

Although not currently in effect the military has been enabled by conscription, so I would classify the military as government servants more than government employees. I will stipulate that the military in general, especially the lower ranks, vote their nation ahead of their paycheck consistently.
