Military votes typically tend Republican.

That's the Reason for the Contradiction.

Well you see, I'm told the military votes Republican so those are definitely legit votes.

I'm worried about the others. You know, the illegitimate votes we know happen even thought there's no proof of it.

Yeah. I'd rather prevent the latter while encouraging the former.

Cuz 'Murica!

Begging is Low-T behavior.

Hey soldiers and sailors getting shot at and having missiles shot at you... vote for two more years of excessive deployments in illegal wars!

I get that Trump is our worst, ever, but is Hegseth our worst Secretary of Defense ever? Have to do some research on that, somehow I am sure we had more incompetent men in that position. Truly, it is like Putin is sitting in the White House giving Trump/Hegseth advice on how to weaken America by dividing us one from another and from our treasured international allies.

I'm surprised Drinky Pete didn't remind them to vote on the Wednesday of "election week".

This nation's military is comprised of personnel smart enough to realize that voting by mail will result in their disenfranchisement. Every soldier, sailor, airman and marine should request a pass to return to their area of registration so as to vote in person ...
