Never did meet up with a rich kid or a congressman's kid the whole 4 years in the service. It kind of blows a whole in the theory that the risk takers if they succeed will get the spoils. The reality is that the rich and well connected who take no physical risk will be the ones fattening up their bank accounts at the expense of the lower middle class including farm kid's who take all of the risk.
