7. Sadly, it never is the sons of the rich ...
not since WW2 at least.

When we had the Vietnam draft, the well-to-do and connected merely used their contacts to avoid service. The poor and uneducated ended up on the business end of a VietCong AK47, fighting people who were probably more like themselves than the capitalist pig bastards who sent them to die in SE Asia.
