Back during my war, the Vietnam War, it was not uncommon for the kids of the wealthy to buy their deferments….kids like me either waited for the draft call to come or we got the jump on it and enlisted….
Now that we have an unending war……somethings never change……
For me…..if we must fight wars then everybody needs to participate……because after 50 years ….NOTHING has changed.
The wealthy go to college and the poor go to war…….
H.W. Bush lied about his age so he could serve in World War II. His daddy was a rich banker.
WW2 was a different animal all together….a case could be made that they truly saved the world…..cannot say that about today….it is about profit not a safer world….BTW…nice to see you visit again…..thanx for stopping by…..come back any time…..chuq
Too true!
