    Do the kids of the ownership classes also have to serve with the rest of the grunts? Or are they sectioned off to champaign units the way George W. Bush did his Coast Guard tour? Or given exception like for Trump’s bone spurs?

    If aristocrats are on the front line with the of the enlisted, there might be better regard for vets.

    I wonder if those countries also face the same degrees of top-down abuse and sexual assault for which the US Army is reputed.

    War is Hell, but the US armed forces have more special hells than Big Trouble in Little China

      You will never see the child of a ruler get sent to the front lines.

      They all have enough money to avoid serving, anyways. Just go to a different country.
