Who Or What Can We Declare War On ?

[fightingquaker13]

That's one way of looking at , on the other hand, when large industrialized nations are trying to kill you would you rather be among "sons of privilege", or poor country boys like Alvin York and Audie Murphy ?

OTOH, Patton didn't exactly come from a poor family. Neither did JFK, and they did allright. The point is to get the privleged to serve, so they won't be so quick to either go to war, or hamper the military as they'll know what its like.

PS I'd want to be as far away from Sgt. York as possible. That guy was just crazy. 100 of them, 2 of us, follow me! Uh.......

Patton wasn't exactly what you'd call tightly wrapped either.
JFK ?  Pacific roadkill .
Although he really messed up the paint job on that Jap destroyer.
Kind of like McCain and Daddy Bush, they were not hero's they were f*ck ups.
(Although Kennedy's conduct after the wreck was far more commendable than his little bro. )
