Your a complete ignoramus if you think class has nothing to do with it.
Rich white kids go to college, poor black kids that don't want to sell drugs go to the military.
not since WWII has the military been a serious viable option for americans from middle class america who were "doing their duty" When i graduate high school, the kids going to the military were all of the shop rats and [censored] ups. Not to say that everyone in the military is from that background, but lets be real, the majority of the us military are not from middle and upper class america





So how are you categorizing US (yes me too) veterans? I'm glad you were so in touch with my motives. To think, I thought I was serving my country and getting a college education, turning myself from a poor white guy to a middle class white guy at the same time.

So what if the rich don't serve in the military, they will never have the pride of knowing they did their part.

So stop with the class warfare already. I don't resent folks who were born with more money than I had growing up. Seems money just lets you get into more serious trouble, that's all and is a poor measure of the value of a person.

So you wanna do something about the difference between the rich and the poor? I'd suggest you stop envying the rich, and suggesting there is something inherently wrong with being either rich or poor and judge people by their actions and not the size of their bank account.
