39. No, you're right.
I have not experienced the enlightenment that comes only from being on a battlefield as a combatant with US forces (other countries don't count) and therefore have not earned the right to use the free speech for which others sacrificed so that I may be shamed into not using it.

As my final act of political speech before permanently shutting up, I hereby declare support for the system imagined by Robert Heinlein in Starship Troopers, in which only veterans are allowed to vote.

Is that about what you're looking for?
