> It seems like it would be highly demoralizing to US soldiers that they are prosecuted for betting on the outcomes of the battles they are risking their lives for but those insider trading commanding them aren't.

Why? The enlisted military has never had any issue with similar double standards in the past. George 'AWOL' Bush handily swept the military vote, as did Donald 'Bone Spurs' Trump.

Likewise, veterans routinely and overwhelmingly vote for people who cut veteran support and benefits, over people who don't.

If they think those people are fit to lead them, who are we to tell them they aren't?
