The rich and leadership never send their sons off to war.

Tell that to the family of Teddy Roosevelt Jr. Next time you happen to be in the area around Normandy, France, stop by the U.S. cemetary and tell him and all of the rest of the men that are buried there "Thank you."

If gunnedah was speaking in the present tense, then he is absolutely correct. Much has changed in the last century. Have you ever read Edmund Morris' two-part (so far) biography of Theodore Roosevelt? Roosevelt would be considered a rabid nazi today. The overwhelming majority of Americans have no historical perspective; consequently, they cannot see how disgracefully far we have fallen.

Teddy is dead and was an exception to the rule but so were others in years past. I am speaking of my generation not our founding fathers and through WW2 but I doubt it applied during WW2.If those people could come back you speak of they would not believe what the leaders in this
country have done and are doing now.
