The upper middle class, the wealthy, and the Jews all served in large numbers during World War 2.
But none of these groups are on the front lines in any significant numbers nowadays even though they are the ones who started the war, still support it, and profit from it in many instances.
Instead of broadly shared sacrifice as was the case during World War 2, the last few years have witnessed an epidemic of tax cuts for the rich, corruption, and profiteering unprecedented in US history, while lower middle class soldiers bleed, die, and get ripped off in a thousand ways.
Not to mention the terrible disaster that has befallen the Iraq people because of these vicious warmongers.
