Two Men, One Vote

How nice that we send our troops around the world to spread democracy, and protect the rights of citizens of other countries, many of whom despise the United States. In the process of creating environments wherein citizens of those countries can cast a ballot, at the cost of many lives of our citizen warriors, we neglect to create an environment wherein our own military personnel are guaranteed that their vote will count in their own country. In the best of circumstances, they are relegated to a bench warmer position in the event that an election is too close to call. This is a disgrace and a scar on the soul of every person who has held or holds public office in this country, and wil remain so until they fix it.
