Somewhere tonight, with the pressures of living and dying on the battlefield, a young soldier may not notice the classification on a document he is handling.

He will be given no compassion by his commander and fellow soldiers.

Nor will he expect any.

His military life will be over, all of his hopes and dreams dashed.

He will understand even if he is jailed because his country, Army and fellow soldiers demanded more of him.

He will not demand to know “What difference does it make?”

He, even at this young age, knows that such things can make great differences in the outcomes of deadly battles.

Take your duty to vote in November as seriously as that young soldier takes his duty every day.
