No you said they did not have a central government nice spin though.

How else do you propose we make the wealthy take a stake in this war? A war tax on the wealthy, or a draft.

Either or both are fine with me. :mrgreen:

I am familiar with deferments. Cheney Chickenhawk received five! Deferments are merely rules and rules can be changed.

In Vietnam, many rich however did not receive deferments. There were certainly more during the draft than there are with the volunteer army.

You showed no proof. Maybe you mean all the mass graves found in Iraq.

this may have been true in the past, but it has not been true for some time.
The makeup of the military ranks better than the population as a whole

And when you do not have strong central government that provides services to the citizens like education, which was the case in Iraq under Saddam that was my point.
