even if the stats represent fuzzy thinking....the point still remains that the children of the elite are protected from sharing their military burden during this time of war.

I mean aren't we all Americans? Didn't 9/11 reaffirm the fact that regardless of our differences that we are all Americans in the fight together?

Because if it's not true -- I'm starting to think it's okay for the children of the poor, working and middle class to carry all the weight in the US fight against terrorism so someone else's child can grow up and ultimately appear at Charlie Rose's wonderful, sturdy, meaningful table and pontificate about protecting America's interests, by any means necessary.
