| Although this thread has taken a huge derail I shall contribute more.
I have always liked the government model in Starship Troopers. 'Service equals citizenship' just seems the way to go. Take our current situation for instance. Our current fuckstick leader calls for more time, patience, sacrifice etc. from the American public yet the only people that actually sacrifice are the ones directly involved.
So in that vein why shouldn't people that actually contribute and give back to their country have the most say in how it is governed. The rest of you are just along for the ride.
Then again my view is tainted cuz I actually serve and I'm a pro-military fascist.
