Not sure of the demographic of the mod military however everyone I know currently serving come from wealthy back grounds. The only thing poor about them is they are young enough to be fooled by fake patriots. They are willing to take a fighting stance because their parents raised them to be good Americans which means not questioning the system. Anyone that joined the military today thinking they were keeping America safe has been fooled. God bless them for trying to do the right thing but they are living and in some cases dying a big fat lie. They are protecting the wealth of people. Our country is only in danger of not being able to buy as much shat made in China from Walmart and driving there cheaper. My nephew is in Helmand province right now. His parents are Fox News watching Rush Limbaugh loving ditto heads that believe their son is in danger to protect them from the al queder storming the beaches of lake Washington in Bellevue. They also believe we are making Afghanistan a better place for non combatants. Since when is that the constitutional duty of or military? I think we should have a strong military but they should be parked at our borders and only be used to defend the US. If chevron needs security they can hire it.
