What if current military servicemembers and honorably discharged veterans were given two votes for having/having had “skin in the game” as the saying goes?

I've never considered that. To be honest, though, I'm not sure I like the idea of anyone getting two votes. But I certainly would bend the rules for the military in other ways. How so? Even if they weren't taxpayers or property owners, they would ALWAYS be allowed to vote -- even in retirement (as opposed to the dependent class, which would always be denied a vote).

Like our hypotheticals will actually happen... lol

I’ve always been in favor of each person’s having one vote for each dollar he earned in the previous year, and no one who works for the government or is on the dole having any vote.
