I wonder if we would still have wars if the first ones to be drafted were the sons and daughters of our lawmakers - from the President right down to the lowest Congressman...

If you've kept up with your medieval history, you'll now that by tradition, the first to die in battle were the aristocrats. Nonetheless, they fought large numbers of battles, because war is the sport of the high-born. Of course, at the time, the spoils of war were considerable, and accrued most to those who distinguished themselves in battle.
