Have you noticed that the stock market keeps going up? The upper middle class is feasting quite nicely, I doubt many remember where Afghanistan is. They certainly don't have any skin in that game, that is for certain.
- altgeek 5y agoExactly. Many opeds have been written about this. Here's one: https://time.com/5696950/bring-back-the-draft/ https://time.com/5696950/bring-back-the-draft/ The general populace, those that supply their children as cannon/IED fodder, has no control of the "game". I propose that all of Congress and those that work for the federal gov't must send their children into these wars as general infantry. Let's see what happens to our forever wars then.

One does not send their adult children anywhere. You might argue that only legislators with children in the military are allowed to vote on certain bills. But that would be unconstitutional. Can't fight privileged exploitation with outraged incoherence.
