Disenfranchising someone who's laying everything on the line for this nation is beyond a crime. Same thing with the caucus states.

With all respect, you're wrong. It doesn't "kinda" suck. It bites hard.

Maybe if you lie about (or just don't say) who you're voting for, a call to your local district congressman would get you an absentee ballot. Worth a phone call?

if my first seargent comes thru ill be set ill leave tommorow

as for the caucus that got me thinking it really does screw over service members that is something that needs to be brought up

you dont think its anything as sinister as a planned move to block Pauls military support from casting a vote? just speculation.

Maybe saying that you'd like to go vote for a veteran who's going to bring your boys home might help?

Keep those good thoughts, Ranger. Where you're going you don't need any distractions at all. We'll be trying our best to keep them honest about your benefits so you're either getting what you've earned when you get back home to stay or we'll be waging a little war of our own!

Hey man, don't kill yourself! lol!

I really commend you if you decide to make that drive, but I won't blame you if you don't ;P
