I would agree with you. Each unit has a voter assistance officer. They are very good about assisting with getting absentee ballots for service members. Its the individual service members responsibility to see the voter assistance officer and make sure their ballot request is sent in on time (early!).

In twenty years of military service I voted in every election. I can't obviously say that my vote was counted (as I have no way of verifying that), but I always received my ballot and sent it back to my voting district in Connecticut on time.

Back in the 1970's, when the voting age was lowered
from 21 down to 18, it was much because of the DEMs
claiming that "if one was old enough to fight, one
was old enough to vote". This on the heels of the
uncomfortable Vietnam aftermath.

However, now today, as a new generation of American
heroes have come to the defense of their Country,
the DEMs feel that if you are of voting age and
"foolish" enough to join the military; then
somehow your vote is no longer merited.

In fact ex-felons somehow deserve to vote more.
