    Are you kidding me? When you’re convicted, you lose your rights, I don’t care if you are a veteran or not. Behind bars, then you can’t get behind the curtain to vote.

      I disagree although I understand why u say that. Some of my thinking is about what happens if the government is jailing innocent people, perhaps those part of a dissident political movement. Shouldnt we be cautious about sidelining political prisoners or allowing such repression in the future?
