They are not, people of all social classes are recruted.

Thank you for proving you know nothing about military recruiting. Absolutely everywhere in this country that is low income is flooded with military recruiters promising to pay for college. Maybe you can find some statistics to back up your claim that members of all income brackets are represented equally. My highschool was crawling with military recruiters. Did they just talk to seniors? Nope. They spoke to all age groups, usually minorities (Mexicans, in my school's case). That's standard. Rich kids don't usually join up. I wonder why.

This is what's wrong with TFP. People read what they want to read. I said: "The military targets young members of low income households and those who don't graduate from high school." Does that mean they ONLY target those people? Nope. That means that two groups of people they target are listed. How many of your PHDs and Docorates enter the military at the bottom, the people who will be on the ground, in Iaq, defending a caravan?

Bush initiated it. He directed investications to find fault in Iraq. He insisted on a war, and information was withheld from the Senate. Yea, it's all Kerry's fault.
