When WWI started in 1914 George Bernard Shaw (b. 1856) said the draft should start at Age 50 or so, the old men start the wars, they should have to fight them.

He was wrong -- the LEADERS should fight the wars.

Take the children and grandchildren of the folks who start the wars and the folks who profit from the sales of materials to prosecute the wars. Grant no exemptions for health problems, educational pursuits, dependent children, etc. Make it as hard at the top as for those at the bottom ... where the impact usually falls. Then, see just how eager everyone would be to send anyone to war. How many years has it been since a president lost a son in combat? Wasn't it TR whose son was KIA in WWI? Believe that's the last time. What about senators/congressmen? Sincerely. bruce.
