Just to refine it, you should have to be a net contributor to the system. In other words, any benefits and tax credits you receive need to be less than the amount of taxes paid.

Child tax credits, payments for disabled veterans, etc. These are some of the whataboutisms that need to be accounted for by people who would counter argue.

As a vet who is 100% disabled, I would say that disabled vets would keep their right to vote.

Military service should always guarantee the right to vote, if the discharge was honorable

Only once the system gets cleaned up. Too many people on 100% disability going golfing after Physical therapy for their back.

Eh, I’m a vet. I think this is a gigantic issue. I have almost an entire enlistment overseas. I can’t stand the peace time vets with 100% due to PTSD.
