"So you are in agreement that the rich and their children should never have to fight in this nation's wars"

I am in agreement that no one "should have to fight", no matter who their parents are. You seem to be suggesting that I believe poor people "should have to fight", but that is nonsense. Joining the military should be voluntary, of course. Poor people do not have to join the volunteer military.

Trump's current actions are abhorrent, but I cannot criticize his decision to sit out of the Vietnam War, which was a terrible crime based on lies.
