    Hey guys,

    My class discussed last friday re: congress and the president's military aggression. My classmate mentioned that very few congressmen have children (or family, for that matter) in the military and therefore lack the empathy to truly understand what people go through during war.

    Is this true? Couldn't find any credible, recent information on new congress' children

    He also pointed out that theres a huge class gap in military service (creating a virtual "military class" of poor people with limited opportunities)

    Thanks
