This does not surprise me. We have the richest families in America with their kids in the military. You have the McCains, Bidens, Palins, Hunters, etc. I think this should be known to everyone.
We are seeing an acceleration of the idea that the military that preserves the actual nation is somehow outmoded and without value in a borderless utopia. The REAL heroes are ACORN workers and other "community leaders" whose entire goal is draining money into useless community programs which are ultimately about giving "community leaders" something to do which they wouldn't be able to earn in real life.
Reagan talked about “heroes” being everywhere in the general population. But in politics, there doesn’t seem to be any heroes available at this time.
