America's upper classes have gone AWOL

<p>rjrzoom57,
I agree with your remarks about economic status and our political system. As always your comments are reasoned and insightful. Could you elaborate on something you wrote, </p>

<p>“The main issue limiting significant numbers from military service is the current population of the United States and the decline in the size of our armed forces it’s simply not possible for a large majority of our population to serve. I think that is unfortunate, but even with a substantial increase in our force levels the vast majority of citizens will never see military service.”</p>

<p>thanks,
