Why don't the rich send their kids to fight the war?

Why does the war have to be faught by the poor?...

 

The rich start wars to make themselves richer and to kill off the poor.

 

That war-mongering f**k Bush is a billionaire I've heard (if mem ser cor.) He needs to send his daughters to help the people who couldn't find a job, and of course our GREAT patriots. All of our military people are GREAT.

They could use some f**king blue blood help. Mouth running and no where near the killing.

 

Lol. What century are we in again?...

This is silly provocation, IANABIAP.
Shame on you.

 

Demonstrate that I am trying to provoke someone.... It was more in the vein of rhetorical. We should not be so quick to assign motives to others...

But anyway, back to the subject, I've heard that a draft (military draft) is coming to America. Is that better than making people who couldn't find a job do the fighting? This is a very good question lolol.

 

Does it matter. Haven't the poor always fought the wars?

Has there ever been a study done on how many ordinary lives were lost compared to the lives lost of the elite?

 

IANABIAP:

It's just an old swipe at the army and the war.
It's been done to death.
If it is a fresh new question for you, fair enough.

This doesn't help your sincerity, though.


This is a very good question lolol

 

poor people don't send their kids to war either

 

Depends what you mean by "poor".
All social an monetary stratas have fought in wars.
Has/is there more "normal" people fighting than your so-called "elite"?
Yes.
And?
It's just statistical.

Thanks for posting the study, gardener.

 

I don't have a study I was asking if Wall St. or Park Ave. had ever done one? I am sure they have put they won't make it public.

I'd love to see the day when wars were waged by the the rich and elite alone. I am sure I won't live that long. I am sure if that were to happen we'd hear less about collateral damage and more about personal loss. It wouldn't be just statistical then.

Truth be told they wouldn't wage the wars they do if it was their kids dying. You can bet if it was a Senator's kid killed by friendly fire it wouldn't be covered up.

The admiral's kid certainly got special treatment.

 

You misunderstood me apparently...but...I'm not the subject here. Why doesn't billionaire Bush send his daughter's to Iraq? Why does can't get a job Joe have to do the fighting?...

 

Poor kids have limited choices. Either enlist are be told you aren't individually responsible. And woe be you who choose not to enlist and become obese...you are the next target of the elite.

 

I see, fair enough.

I can't be arsed with the rest of it...as it has been said 100000000000 times befor. It's a yawn, for sure.

 

It's a free country...that's why.

 

Not nearly the snore for parents with kids signing up. They are up every night wondering whether or not their kids will come home alive or whole. But I guess that's not your problem is it?

 

They know what they are signing up for.
It's the military, gardener, not working in a vets office, or anything like that.
I'm sure all parents are worried about their kids when they go off to war...

No, it isn't really my problem.
Why should it be?

In any case, i'm not bored by that part...just the tedious notion about the "rich" and the "elite" going to war...no reasonable answer is good enough for people like you...who always say crap like that.

 

The DOW's at 10,000 everythings right with your world isn't it Odon?

 

Perhaps it might be your problem if the draft was instituted again. Then we wouldn't have to talk about whose kids got sent off to war. All of them would.

 

I have no idea what the DOW is doing...and I don't care.
Is that the best insult you can do?

You would be, though.
It would be: "Oh, I bet they get to be at the back...I bet they get special treatment...blah blah blah"
You'd find something to moan about.

 

No actually I am personally glad there is no draft. No one should be forced to kill. I lived during a draft.

I do understand and value the fact that poor people enlist to escape the inequalities at home.
