they can pay high expensive lawyers and physicians and they know influential persons.
War is only a continuation of politics (see Von Clausewitz).
Politics serve financial interests.
Rich people are educated in a different way than common people.
Common people are educated by Fox News and stupid ideas.
They believe that we can export democracy with bombs and they are ready to die,unknowing that every war depends on politics and economic interests.
Think about Iraqi war.
The excuses are:
weapons of mass destruction
terrorism
the need to export democracy.
Only a moron can believe this reasons.
The reason are Oil,Gas and pipeline and Geopolitcs in the new great game to control central Asia.
Next step is Iran.
Rich people don't like to use an M4 carbine...they like to count their money

During Vietnam I knew wealthy and educated men who volunteered and they weren't all officers either. On the other hand the majority of those I went to school with who were by no means wealthy played every game in the book to evade the draft from whole families chipping in to send them to school to eating and drinking enough to stay overweight to claiming to be gay to moving to Canada. Use some logic. Often times the wealthy have been able to get what they have by having above average intelligence. Intelligence is largely genetic. The more intelligent you are generally the higher your aspirations are academically. So naturally some of the wealthier take advantage of educational opportunities available to them. It is a mistake to think that this choice is always indicative of patriotism. The bottom line is I think that among both the rich and the poor you find patriots, shirkers and cowards.

Which country are you in, the US armed forces are made up of volunteers. Did you see Sen. McCain's son possibly going to Iraq? Many of the minorities and poorer white folk see the armed services as a way of getting ahead in the world....

You waste your time trying to find how to stay out of military like wealthy. Do not join, there is no draft. There are wealthy people who join. My son joined & we are over the $100,000 a year income area. We are patriotic, money does not change that.

They have a word with there friendly congressman or schedule education at times which coincide with the draft so they can get exemptions. They put themselves in charge of businesses which cannot run without their presence. There are countless ways the resourceful 'rich' person can avoid the draft.

Well, the US Hasn't had a draft program since the 1960s, so no one gets drafted.

I know your tired of reading the same thing, but at ths time in the US there is no draft. now, if you were talking about how they did it in the 60's during Vietnam, they got out of it by enrolling in college.

Some rich people choose to fight for their country, and the others that get drafted go, they have no choice. This is one instance that money can not always get you what you want.

You are exempt from the draft if you are attending college and the overwhelming majority of wealthy children attend college.
