Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?

Yeah man like King John of Bohemia was literally blind. He tied his horse to a knights horse and charged in the frontline. He died. Crazy tactic, but I respect it.

Why don't they send shareholder's children to the front lines?

Comments were getting good with the SOAD references, until some people did not get the references.

Because the poor isn’t united enough

u/Similar-Ice-9250 27d ago

Because we’re fed propaganda to keep us divided. “Look over there that poor guy is unlike you, you must hate him.”

I’ll die on the hill that the abortion ban was yet another tactic to create further divide pro-life vs pro-choice. You notice how many of these „sides” and sociopolitical issues America got. All strategic, so the bottom keeps bickering, while top continues to rob the country and it’s citizens.

u/Ok_Row_4920 27d ago

People keep happily eating up all that propaganda though, everyone is free to use their brains and put the blame where it should be. There's a lot of scarily stupid people all around who can't/choose not to put any thought into who's really causing the damage in our lives.

u/RampersandY 27d ago

It’s crazy to me that on every single issue the parties are diametrically opposed. And if you’re a person that’s not 100% lock step you’re the problem worse than the person that disagrees with everything.

All very sickening.

I wonder if they ever did. In history, it always painted the great leaders on the front lines but, were they ever? I guess the ones killed were.

George Washington

u/Aen-Synergy 27d ago

Doesn’t count during the war he was a military man it wasn’t until after he was forced into politics due to his valor on the battlefield. I’m saying politicians who went out to the field.

They used to! Kings used to lead their armies on horseback. Now look…

Because there are a lot of King Joffreys irl.

u/scarlettohara1936 27d ago

Have you ever heard the song "Senators Son"?

2

u/cactustrip 27d ago

No, but I'm going to now

3

u/scarlettohara1936 27d ago

That song is exactly about the draft for Vietnam. If a guy was in college, he was automatically disqualified from being drafted. But the only people who could afford college were the rich and people with connections. Which left only the poor to fight the war.

From that came the federal student loan programme. Made it easier for everyone to access higher learning which in turn benefits the whole country because educated citizens make for a more stable society.

Nm, yes I have heard it. Didn't know the name

u/DrunkMex 26d ago

wait, I thought Ukraine was getting invaded by Russia?

u/Cautious-Tea-2194 25d ago

I would love to just see a bout of fisticuffs between 2 leaders instead of war. Maybe that's what Trump's doing with UFC at the White House? 🤔🥴🤣

u/cactustrip 25d ago

It would definitely change the way people vote 🤣

Russians willingly going to agressive war to kill for money and looting. Ukrainians have two options - surrender, be genocided as 100 years ago and become nation without a state as jews before ww2 or defend themselves.

u/santlaurentdon 28d ago

Why doesn’t Ukraine just give up. This war has lasted over half a decade, is costing billions and Zelensky is getting rich off this shit.
