military draft

really angry that we don't have draft. The lions share of military personnel come from the lower and lower middle class. The ivy leaguers get off free and get the fat cat jobs with the fortune 500 companies and the top political jobs like president cabinet members ect. My grandfather was in the spanish american, my father in ww2, iwas in the korean war and my brother was in vietnam. the rest of you take your turn.
