this is india specific. the rich and elites are there all dressed up the funerals of the unknown soldiers. their kids are never amongst them. and those cheeks speak a lot about patriotism. isn't it funny?

this is india specific and for indian elites /raja/maharajas/nawabs/ and even those of singhals who shouts at the top of their voices whenever a soldier killed in action. none is ever from their immediate families.

I'm in the AF, and I've actually know quite a few people in the military whose parents were wealthy. Maybe not insanely rich, but these kids didn't have to go into the military either.

Many of the Officers who serve with me are rich kids.
Some of the rich kids here(Russia) do not manage to dodge the draft either, and they end up doing their 18 months as a private.
Some rich kids bribe their way into high speed low drag roles, such as fast mover pilot...

Yes I have.
Alot of the officers in the military, come from well off families.
But yes, there are even rich kids who are enlisted.
Heck, Sam Walton of WalMart fames son was a green beret.
My dads last driver ( dad was a CSM ) was a rich kid.

Another Rant!
India a country that Prides itself on the "Caste" System.
Caste Systems are traditional, hereditary systems of social classification, that evolved due to the enormous diversity in India (where all three primary races met, not by forced slavery but by immigration). This classification is based on endogamy, occupation, economic status, and ethnicity.
In Hinduism it it believed that there are multiple incarnations of God at various times to rescue earthly living-beings from the evil. In fact, there is freedom to worship any form of God to become Hindu. Likewise, there is no need to believe in caste-oriented classification to be a Hindu. This is proof enough to delink caste from Hinduism as a religion. It is just that many Hindus tend to conceive themselves in a caste-mold (as well as in an economic class mode as well as other inclusivistic molds and exclusivistic modes). So, caste is associated with Hindus but not with Hinduism. Caste is also associated with Christians and Muslims especially in Pakistan where less than 1% of the population is Hindu.
