Proposing that only those individuals with military service warrant the vote, or the credentials to be CinC, is ludicrous.

Follow along (sllloooooowwwwwwwlllly) and it all come into focus for you.

Lots of things are ludicrous, but simple assertions with no supporting argument beyond a personal dissing of the questioner are indistinguishable from noise. If you want to contribute something besides snorting noises to this thread, an intelligible account of your notion of an appropriate standard for access to the franchise would be worth discussing. A third incidence of noise can be safely ignored, I think.

Being trained as a soldier does not qualify someone to be Commander-in-Chief. Effective delegation skills, critical thinking and keen judgement are far more important.

Similarly, wielding the power of a private enterprise does not require experience in each company role from driver to salesman. Surprisingly, it is a liability as the typically difficult transition from entrepreneurship to professional organization demonstrates.

Being trained as a soldier certainly does not qualify someone to be a voter.

And while performing military service is admirable and necessarily contributes to a secure and functioning society, so is being a teacher, a doctor, an engineer or even a mother.

All deserve access and voting rights.
