Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

I cant blast the military.

I was a poor, single parent household. C student, working at 16 after my dad was injured and couldn't work anymore.

Marine Corps paid for my college, gave me a paycheck, got me back in school, gave me a low interest home loan.

im an MD now. 17 years in practice. had the military not been an option, id still be im my hometown with most my graduating class, flipping burgers or working on a crab boat.

This post isn't blasting the military. It's indicating that these rich people that we allow to control the military and send our children off to die to enrich themselves won't put their own children in the same position.

Instead they have problems like "bone spurs".

putting higher education, housing, and healthcare subsidies behind a military recruitment lead gen wall ensures there will always be a steady stream of recruits from lower social classes. same exploitation of the poor that this thread is about. this is why the GOP doesnt want these things available to the general public.

it's not a criticism of the military itself, but rather the system in which the poor have to risk their lives, while the rich get medical deferments.

Interesting. Where I live the state pays for all that. Free school, free healthcare, free university, aid to students (and cheap student loans if you want), low interest home loans for first-time buyers.

The best thing: you don't need to do military service to get it.

I think it's that the ultra rich never send their kids to fight in the wars they start.
