Not only someone with epaulets can be defense minister. We're in a democratic country.
Someone who does an act. In a democratic society, you're supposed to be an activist; that is, you participate. It could be a letter written to an editor.
I'm not someone who thinks Republicans are always wrong and Democrats are always right.
