- chrisseaton 5y agoNo they’re the young platoon leaders putting themselves in harm’s way.

- remarkEon 5y agoAn odd reference as we don’t have a draft anymore.
- earleybird 5y agoAgreed, but not just because there is no longer a draft, but that the song referenced does not differentiate between the rank of those who serve. It does distinguish between those who serve and those who send them into harms way with no risk to themselves.
