How on earth does being an effective killer on the battlefield translate to making wise decisions on electing representatives? I see zero correlation.
I see plenty of correlation between more life experience, like having a job, paying taxes, being married and taking care of others, and making good voting decisions.
of course you would say that. You think someone who went to war would want to vote for more war in the future?
You'd think not, but WW1 -> WW2
You think that decision was made lightly? The US stayed out of it for as long as possible, until Japan attacked and forced them.
If staying out of it means trying to cripple Japan by cutting them off our oil, sending planes and pilots to help China, and breaking the neutrality act to trade ships and weapons to Brits.
But it's the same story with the other countries from WW1. The people who fought, going on to vote for more. Politicians are good at convincing us it's necessary.
The public doesn't vote on going to war. And why on earth would I need to participate in war to know it's terrible? I'm against all wars unless every other option has been exhausted.
People vote on the people who vote to go to war. Can you really not see this?
That's completely different. People voted in Bush. There was no vote taken whether to invade Iraq or not, nor should there be. We have a commander in chief for a reason.
lol, do you know why the US pulled out of Vietnam despite technically winning every battle?
Protesting and voting are not the same. You make it sound as if people can just go to a ballot box and check the "go to war" or "don't go to war" box.
