most kids dont have a dog in the fight. No consequences by supporting it. No low draft numbers to contend with. Violence and death will be done by others to others. I read a column about a middle class person whose school thought it was a failure of theirs because her son chose the military. Other parents were angry that the kid joined up and protested the military recruiters from leaving pamphlets at the guidence councillors office. One parent told her "What a waste" its a class thing very reminicent of the mercs used by the romans of the latter days. Looked down upon as second rate citizens till they took over the place. Also reminds me of the French Foreign Legion, cannon fodder for the Department of External affairs.
thanx,
