So would Mitt and the rest of the GOP Presidential candidates...if their sons & daughters had to pick up a rifle and go into harm's way. As long as the real cost of war is paid by the 99%, then the 1% will continue to support, promote and advocate for war.

Let the 1% physically lead us into harm's way...then war become real for all.

If our leadership suffered from the same casualty rate as this nation (north and south) leaders suffered during the Civil war, I bet they would find mediation as a real solution. (Yep, I know that you could buy yourself out of harm's way - during that time...smile).
