[QUOTE="donner, post: 1490456, member: 277"] No. I don't believe anyone should be singled out for special treatment, and i never said such. What i said was that your position is insulting to thousands of Americans who would proudly serve their country but for physical handicaps and military regulations baring them from service. Because someone is born without a hand, or an arm, they aren't qualified to be mayor, governor or in congress? Because someone broke their back in high school, that person can't be president? To say that such people aren't qualified to hold office is ridiculous. Giving favor to someone who has served is fine, so long as it's done at the ballot box and not through "prerequisites." You can argue who is deserving and not deserving of special treatment all you want, but that is a different argument for a different time and nothing aside from a loss of rights through due process should ever bar anyone from holding public office.
