No, because in Starship Troopers ONLY Veterans could vote.
I think that Veterans, as a class of people, are the most qualified to be entrusted with national security.
They've already demonstrated a level of committment to country, Constitution, the rule of law and teamwork that exceeds the norm of any of identifiable group.
They have something in common, and the thing they have in common is that they all answered the call of civic duty, young. I think that this makes them more qualified, as a group, than any other group I can think of.
Also, Veterans get screwed a lot by our system, and its unconscionable. We've got Vets who can't get medical care for the after effects of service-related wounds and injuries, while welfare recipients get better coverage.
This is not right.
The political system is broken.
The Dems cannot be trusted with power at all.
And the Republicans can't be trusted with the budget or the borders.
That makes the Republicans the better of the two, but still not adequate for what we need.
Some personality cult of a wealthy businessman - Perot - is not what we need again. We need a serious national movement, but one that has credibility and isn't simply a vehicle for ambitious wackos. I think that a party of veterans offering itself for office at all levels would have a dangerous amount of instant credibility, and could very well become the centrist, national security party that carves every sane person out of the Democratic Party, and a good-sized chunk out of the Republicans too.
Just a thought.
Starship Troopers was based on a different, non-democratic ideal.
