    Well, in my limited knowledge and general thoughts about it being treason, I agree with what he’s saying as it doesn’t come off as these recruiters are trying to be compassionate and save citizens to become soldiers.

    Sounds like profiteering favoritism to keep rich and prominent men and women from serving.

    This doesn’t strike me as 16 year old Billy is getting handed a bayonet and told to die for oil.

    Bottom line, against or for the war, people getting rich by saving the rich is a pretty shitty way to do your profiteering.

      Is $10,000 the minimum bribe, the typical/average bribe, or the most sensational bribe? Given the news outlet (BI), I’m guessing the latter.
