Why do they always send the poor?

Why do people honestly believe the military/government see them as a person and not as a potential casualty? http://www.unknownnews.org/casualties.html

Whether you're US, Afghanistan, British, Australian, White, Black, Orange, or Purple. Why are solders blinded by the fact that they fight for men who are filthy rich cowards?

    Physical and Mental training to do as they are told. That includes deny the obvious, that they fight to protect the interest of American Companies.

    Most of us want to do what's right. We "know" we are doing right when other people validate it. It's hard to think for yourself and go against the grain.

    Still, the military has relieved a lot of suffering and helped a lot of people. It's not fair to act like all soldiers are blind idiots and that all people in power are evil bastards.

    They have done some things right and some things wrong.
