Today I gave anyone in my company that wanted to vote the ability to miss PT as long as they gave me the "I voted" sticker they hand out once a ballot is cast. Not a single Soldier took me up on this offer. Approximately 80% of my company are residents of Tennessee so being away from their polling station does not apply. When talking to the ones that aren't residents of Tennessee all of them told me they didn't mail in a ballot for one reason or another. Why do you think Soldiers, Warrant Officers, and Commissioned Officers chose not to vote? This is a right they are willing to lay down their lives for through their military service however they chose not to.

SGM (Join to see) The only thing that I can think of is that many feel that their votes don't matter.
I would argue that with this many positions up for grabs, this election cycle is crucial.
And, I agree with SFC Mark Merino if you don't vote, I don't want to hear anything, not a word. You may not get what you want out of the elections, but at least you got to say something.

I use to vote every time for almost 20 years, I use to say the same thing. I was so proud that I participated in voting for turd #1 over turd#2. One day I realized I would be equally unhappy with any of the above choices. So I no longer waste my time and don't even complain or bitch. Not Apathetic, just a realist. Our political cycle is just a repeat of animal farm and so I just go through life being the Ass and try to act astounded when what was old is new again.
