What am I missing???

A brain? (Sorry, you left yourself open for that one).

However, your logic stinks.

So, where it the rule that says that "territories will not have voting rights privileges", and who came up with it, LOGICALLY? If a territory is subject to the same rules as regular states, including people serving in the military and being able to vote when residing in any of the 50 states, then, why can't they legally vote when back "at home"? Makes no sense. The rules for territories seem to have been created randomly with no real purpose, other than to keep them labeled as territories with less than full states' privileges.

So then, sounds like you think PR, American Samoa and DC and all the rest should be states. I don’t know the history of how territory status evolved, but sounds to me like your saying that status just shouldn’t exist.
