<Should the children of wealthy families be able to evade serving in the military

Yes, as should the children of non-wealthy families, and in both cases they can evade serving in the military.>

Wealthy people do not need the crappy pay of a military job -- that "privilege" is given to people with few other financial options. Cheney dodged military service, but he does not mind watching your children die in military service in a war of his own making. We have a backdoor draft -- only the financially less well-off need apply.
