Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the poor and uneducated (when they possess both qualities) BE the ones going to war? Some of the people from my town that went would either be ringing you up the grocery store, selling drugs, or in jail. I really don't see the point of drafting a college kid who may have a lot to offer the world, or a parent of 2 who obviously has duties at home, especially when there are hoodlums hanging out on corners day and night performing dangerous or illegal activity; and especially since theyre getting a PAID chance to better themselves (with the risk of dieing/being injured).
I'm really not trying to sound insensitive so please offer a counter argument, politely.
