    I would be more likely to go the other way starship troopers style only those with the character to defend their country should have the right to vote in that country. Those leeching off the system and letting others doing the difficult things shouldn’t be rewarded

        I was on about the book.

        The film is great but philosophically it’s a shadow of the book.

      So only able bodied men and women. Big yikes. Also people who aren’t soldiers are leeches. Even bigger yikes.

        Obviously not read starship troopers thet make it very clear that anyone can serve and will be accommodated. And they make it very clear that being in the military isn’t the only way to serve.

        It’s just above providing for your country and earning the right to vote.

          Oh well if starship fucking troopers says it. You do realize that’s satire right. Jesus fuck you fascists are so fucking oblivious it isn’t funny.
