I like what Robert Heinlein proposed:
If you don't serve, you can't vote and you can't hold any public office.
Citizenship should be earned.

Me too.

Earn the right to vote. Makes sense to me...but of course we would be in the minority here on FR

That would mean that Kerry, Murtha, McCain should run the country and that your mother, sister, brothers that did not or could not go have no vote.

Think first.

To have a navy, you must have ships, planes, missiles, subs, ..Army, Marines, same thing.

7,000,000 men and women to cloth and equip.

Or would you have them march with wooden guns?

The entire concept will never fly.
