[Cicero]

"We should all have some skin in the game. Then you wouldn't have so many votes for war," he said.

Translation: "If we sign up a bunch of unwilling amateurs, including young women, and send them over to get killed, that will help get us back into power. Plus we can float rumors that the Republicans want to draft everyone's sons and daughters. It's win-win, except for those poor suckers who get killed. Needless to say, I'm exempt, because I'm too important to go."
