#1 Vogue? Who reads Vogue? It's a picture book.

And since when do "journalists" give a rat's ass about po' white folk from flyover territory?

#2 Instead of "calling for the draft" or for using a magic wand to "end the war" Vogue should call for shaming Blue Staters into joining the military and helping to provide for the common defense. The problem is not the patriotism of flyover country. It is the sedition of establishment publications like Vogue clinging like a tick to the body of America.

#5 All wars are not WWII. That's the Hollyweird mindset. The problem is that WWII was the 'exception' not the rule on who fought and who did the dying. Maybe we could back to those 'quaint' idyllic times of racial segregation and internments, too. BTW Maggie twit, nothing stops the upper class privileged from signing on the dotted line than their own self interest. Take it up with them.

One of the big differences from before when young men not of privilege carried the burden, was that some were able to make a name for themselves which would then be the platform to attain high office. Now that liberal blue MSM is churning out the propaganda, that venue is reserved for the exclusivity of those 'upper socioeconomic stratosphere' zip codes. How's about opening that up. Limit the number of 'rich', new or old, who can garner the fruits of power. Consider it 'forced busing' or 'quotas' for past discrimination. Or is this another on of those liberal mantras of 'one set of rules for us and another set of rules for you'.

#8 My dad retired last year as from 37 years of teaching at a an extremely liberal prep school in the Mid West. Last year 5 outof 128 seniors matriculated to service academies. That is pretty typical and puts the lie to the two class argument. Note - Other classmates may go ROTC but I think that would be the exception for my Dad's school. Most of the students that are called to military service at WRA and I speculate other boarding prep schools attend the academies. I think this comes from the fact that four ears at a boarding prep school makes four years at Williams or Bowdoin or Princeton look like more of the same.

#11 We'd have more recruits from northeast New Jersey if the posters were in other languages. These poor guys think the posters are ads for a Village People concert.
