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.

I was taught back in school a class called American History and Social Economics-- our teacher was adamant about the right to vote so he energized that throughout the class-- that if you have the right to vote and don't then you don't have the right to stomp on my rights by complaining. And it is blatant what the media has created for sheoples and their way of life. I was taught - it's not the person but the policies and actions of that person. "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago" as one of our former presidents stated so clearly. Your choice-- your voice-- your vote--

All due respect, the command leadership should INSIST that every soldier vote. The act itself is a personal choice, but doing it should be required, and an order. Once faced with a ballot, the soldier has the ultimate choice what to do with it. If any soldier balks they should be reminded that they and their forebears are on the hook for everything up to and including their lives so that Americans retain the RIGHT to vote and enjoy the fruits of this great nation. They raised their right hands and gave an OATH to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in my book, that's impossible if you don't vote.

Well actually to be correct we are a representative republic not a democracy

It has morphed into a representative Republic. It shouldn't be, but it takes us one step closer to a pure democracy. This is bad.
I have written about it, but it's hard to change the public's perception starting in the 1890s.

oter registration fraud in Pennsylvania reported today. So here we go again.
No wonder most of us active and retired military don't want anything to do with voting.
Also the current administration will somehow hold it against use if we vote for the other party and I can believe that.

Pennsylvania county says 2,500 voter registrations being investigated for possible fraud
A criminal investigation is underway in the crucial presidential battleground of Pennsylvania after election workers in one county flagged about 2,500 voter registration forms for potential fraud. The forms arrived at the Lancaster County elections office shortly before the state’s deadline to register this past Monday and were apparently part of a larger effort to sign people up, officials said Friday. Two other counties “received similar...

It's everywhere, but especially the swing states.
It happened in 2020. There are legal documents that uphold the accusations but lawsuits beat them down from public exposure.
We really need to go to same day voting and paper ballots, with tabulations that night.

People that don't vote simply don't care about what occurs in the USA. Parents must teach their children to care for their families, communities, and country. As a servicemember, we owe it even more to vote because are in turn voting for our leadership of our Armies, Navies, and Air Force. Every vote matters and if one pays income tax, they should vote!

I voted every time election when I was still in. I encouraged and gave subordinates time to go vote. These are the people that decide when to declare war, when and where to deploy you…the least you can do is make your voice heard.
At the end of the day, you get what you settle for.

This might be a more recent situation. I retired over 30 years ago, but during my active years when there was no such thing as early voting, it seemed most soldiers were receptive to the very easy chore of requesting an absentee ballot. For the 1972 election I was the Voting Participation officer for my organization. I had literally a few hundred requests for help in requesting the absentee ballot. Personally, ever since the first time I was eligible to vote back in 1964 I have not missed a single Presidential or mid-term election, even when where I was living meant my vote for other than the Leftwing Democrat would likely not mean a thing.
