I know. A lot of the wealthy elite's had sons and daughters who fought in WW2. Some even lost a son or daughter. WW2 was a legitmate war, no doubt. Our country's survival was at stake.

Since then. The wealthy have avoided the military like the plague. Look at how many avoided service in Viet Nam by using things like college defferments. Boy, if that wasn't a scam that helped keep the wealthy's children out of the military. Who went to college? Especially back in those days? Mainly wealthy people.

As much as I hate to say it. Reinstate the draft! It's time for the wealthy to see their children go into the military to defend their great fortunes.
