This Thread is SPlit from What Positions Should I hold to get into public office
Just curious/quibbling but why is it that people think serving in the military is a good qualification to serve in public office?
Is it just a traditional way to limit the field of candidates to males? I realize that women have always served in the military, even when they had to conceal their gender to do so. For the record, I have many relatives including one of my children who served/are serving in the armed forces.
