Yeah. We had this problem after Vietnam, too, though some or most were drafted. Most of those fighting did so because their government asked them to, couldn't see an alternative future for themselves, wanted to test their own courage, and a few other good reasons.

The fact that any politician can side with the thieves who prey upon the desperate is a testament to just how completely they've sold their souls to gain office.
