Imagine living in a society where we collectively decide some people just get all the privilege to themselves, and the rest of us can just roll around in the mud, and everyone is ok and happy with that.
It isn't a decision we made. Were born into a system that's the culmination of trillions of man hours. How do you one day look at that great beast, and between hundreds of millions of individuals with their own ideas, biases, social standings, etc all collectively decide to say no at the same time? It's a monumental task.
Elvis's War detail was all for show anyway. He was never anywhere near the front lines, spending two years in West Germany as a chauffer. Ffs, he didn't even live on base.
Both Elvis and his manager Colonel Tom himself recognized his tour of duty was far more about discouraging draft dodging from others than doing any kind of public service of his own. The bulk of his time abroad involved producing records positively reflecting on military life.
I agree in general, but I guess if you're talking specifically about how some people feel like they shouldn't be able to be drafted, I'd argue it's less an issue than the idea of drafting in general.
Yeah that would be fucking wild. I'm glad i cant even really imagine what that would be like.
I get your point, but also I wouldn't trust Swift with my life.
I'd probably prefer to be on her squad. She would fund all the best gear and get all the safest quests
You could stencil "haters gonna hate hate hate" on your helmet.
I don't think it's so much as famous people getting to live in comfort, more those pesky tabloids, et al leaking the location of these rich fuckers, putting civilians, troops and army operations in danger.
I mean, half the guys from BTS are in the army right now
BTS be like:
Kind of a bad comparison since Beyonce being a woman cannot be drafted afaik.
Okay, ramen hair Timberlake then
All the fight for equality for nothing \s
After that Destiny's Child - Survivor video, where they danced in camo, I can picture that 😅
