Military Missing More Than One Class of Americans

ABC News online notes that upper middle class Americans are mostly missing from the military. True? Hell, yes. But those who sit above the upper middle class are missing even more.

The Bush twins, for example, graduated college 2.5 years ago and they haven't been near a job yet. However, with their fondness for drinking and drugs, I don't think the military needs them. ::cough::

Also, while the ABC story noted how John McCain's youngest son, Jimmy, has enlisted... well... let's see what Jimmy does. I suspect daddy's presidential desires play a role here. And a hell of a lot more attention has been paid to Jimmy McCain enlisting than to Sen. Max Baucus' nephew dying in Iraq.
