  No they’re the young platoon leaders putting themselves in harm’s way.

    The reference was to "Fortunate Son".[0] [0] https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/john-fogerty-addresses-fortunate-son-concert-for-valor-controversy-168809/ https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/john-fogerty-a...

      An odd reference as we don’t have a draft anymore.

        Agreed, 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.
