There is a class that is grossly under represented in the military, the offspring of the ruling class, that is professional politicians. I haven't verified it, but I read the only one offspring of a serving CongressCritter is currently serving in the military. How things have changed. In WW-II, Congresmen themselves often were in uniform, some for real, some like LBJ, for show. Even those doing it for show at least indicated that it was expected and would hurt a Congressman after the war if he was of an appropriate age and did not put on a uniform.

I had at least two books that listed the Hollywood stars that went to war in WWII and what they did.
Hollywood still goes to war, but AGAINST America.
