Elections are exposing, expensive and a mystery to most of us, but the downturn in our congressional cooperation and effectiveness is clearly reflected in the downturn of our Veteran participation. We have to get involved again and not just to share the latest shock TV rant...

As long as they are not a NAZI, insurrectionists supporter, or a nutcase evangelical that wants to know what goes in my bedroom; yes.

yes i would VOTE a(n) VETERAN into Congress, whether local, state, national if he/she can have the backing of the people that is in that district/area and that the impending person/people can do their/his/her job with the proper resources and help needed. and that person or people must be physically fit enough to do the job allotted to them .. however, if the person/people is partially handicapped and can still do the job ,,, yes sir ,, yes mam endorse them/him/her and let us get this country back to the way it is supposed to be .. it is right but it is tight .. hooah/woops there it is and it is a wrap

I would vote for a veteran in a heartbeat if I felt the veteran was fully qualified for the position and I liked what he/she was proposing.

I would love to see more veterans run for political office. I've always been a firm believer that our presidents should have military experience.

Absolutely. Although the last one here in Missouri didn't work out too well.

TBH, I feel that only Veterans should be eligible for office. In my darker moments, I think none but vets should vote. Voting is the exercise of power, political will, force. The ultimate autority a human can exert in America. The autority should be balanced with responsibility. What higher responsibility is there than laying your life on the line as a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine?
