Why don’t presidents fight the war, why do they always send the poor?
War pigs was written more than 50 years ago and is still relevant
Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor. Yeah!
They used to. For millennia they were with thier army. Even Washington was in battles.
Washington stayed with his troops but kept behind the lines. Western Leaders mostly stopped leading from the front after Gustavas Adolphus got killed doing so.
Also, Washington had military training and was elected because of his military victories. He didn’t fight as president, he had already resigned his commission by the time he was elected.
Wallenstein still ran like a baby from that battle and was assassinated by his own side over it (allegedly). To think Adolphus would likely have secured Swedish land in mainland Europe…
WWI was the last war that the elite fought in. At least in the US, and even then they sent their kids, not the old people that started it.
Then they wouldn’t start wars.
I mean, having them out in platoons is too much. You would basically be punishing the real soldiers by burdening them with some mook. However, forcing them to live in forward operating bases, with no special considerations for safety, or comfort, would be nice.

Why do they always send the poor?!Isn’t Putin like two inches shorter?
The other side doesn’t need Ai to get a visual.
Zelenskyy was sent to the front lines? News to me.
If the war is so important, then they will have no problem dying for it. If their country is so strong, then it’ll be fine without them.
