re: #138 LudwigVanQuixote

I disagree with everything else in the post, but this part is spot on.

The chicken hawk wing of the right would certainly be a lot less eager to rattle sabers if they actually had a stake in it.

Oh crap. Who do you think make up the military now? Its a volunteer force right? So who would agree to volunteer. Don’t give me that line about poor inner city black kids. I don’t serve with but a handful of people who joined cause they had no options. Most joined cause they support our country, our president (whoever he/she may be at the time), our causes, and the military. Former military’s kids join in higher numbers than civilians by percentage. The Right sends their kids to war. It does not make them less likely to saber rattle.
