4. Sadly no, though historically those who served volunteered

like TR and the Kennedys, but I think it is statement of this country has fallen that now we need to raise the age of enlistment. And the upper class, will be the ones who will send these people to fight the wars. But then again maybe the fact that the Pentagon has to resort to this means that actually many young people of various economic backgrounds are saying FU to Bush's war. a silver lining?
