why is it george bushes daughters go to ivy league schools and average americans kids go get blown up in iraq?

Question

hypocracy and manipulation

Answer 1

Because the ones getting blown up enlisted. They knew that was a consequence when they signed up. Anybody can go to an ivy league school if they apply themselves. We live in the best country on earth. If you don't believe it, love it or leave it.

Answer 2

Nothing special about it. Most women dont join the army yet.. May change in the future, but I bet if you look you will find maybe 2% of the female population tops joins the army. They also havent been subjected to the endless years of street warfare in america so they probably have little intrest in becoming soldiers.

Some say wealth brings privleges. And this is true.... so why do people complain about it when they could go make the same wealth themsleves and have the same privleges. Nothing stopping them, except maybe their own ignorance.

As for the backs of the poor crap... well... Why do they sign up if they dont think the risk is worth it?

Its not like anyone ever forced them to sign up.

Now if piles of people were being drafted it would be different.

But they arnt. no one is being drafted.

The people in the military that are there believe the war is right.

They know they are fighting terrorists.


*should we be there well, thats another question and answer.

Answer 3

Actually, Jenna Bush went to UT. The reason the Barbara Bush went to an Ivy League is not only because Bush was an alumni (and a rich one willing to donate a lot of money at that), but also one of the leaders of the free world (honestly, which school would not want the president on its side?). Yes, Bush is a hypocrite; he is just not a competent president.

Answer 4

The class (and racist) system is alive and well in George Bush's America. The vast majority of the brave young men and women who fight and die for the USA in Afghanistan and Iraq are from poor families, and a large percentage are from visible minorities (especially blacks and Hispanics). There ought to be a constitutional amendment such that whenever a president commits American forces to any conflict, he and his children must be the first sent overseas to fight. Of course, it will never happen, but, if it did, I can almost guarantee that there would never be any more wars fought by Americans away from American soil.

Answer 5

number one he can afford it ,people are in Iraq because they chose to join the military and understood the consequences of what enrolling in the military means besides benefits,and some choose that path however structure comes from parents grooming there children for the future,i am a republican and my grandfather was in the marines for 30 years as a high ranking officer and i graduated law school at the university of miami.as for this question??????

Answer 6

people who connect the army are often human beings from undesirable economic backgrounds. they frequently in basic terms have a severe college commencement. wealthy human beings do no longer connect the army to be sure that this reason the Bush daughters are no longer battling in Iraq. it may additionally could with the actuality that they do no longer choose to pass.

Answer 7

Like Father Like Daughters. Weren't they born to a war dodger?

Answer 8

Excellent question - Bit like why can the Commander in Chief declare a war and then sit at home and watch it on TV.

Answer 9

yeah. how many rich kids enlist? probably none. privileges come with being vip's kids.
Military does provide good career opportunity, privileges and facilities. that's why the US has bigger military spending than the rest of the world combined.. some 400billion USD./year.
but rich kids don't need them anyway... that's why they target mid to lower class income families, to whom those opportunities, career, privileges and money would come harder otherwise.
