The Onion nails it again
"800,000 priveleged youths enlist to fight in Iraq":
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/privileged_youths_enlist_to_fight_in_iraq

The College Republicans and their "I have other priorities" mentality disgust me. Unfortunately there will always be another poor kid to go in their place. If anything is un-American, it is the belief that "my life is more important," that you can support a war but refuse to risk your own life for it.

1. They disgust me too.
These days, it isn't just the rich kids that have this "my life is more important" attitude, but a lot of Bush supporters who aren't rich, who claim to support the war but don't want to risk their lives, or those of their relatives, for it.
