Ernesto, even in a country (like Israel) with a mandatory national service, the upper crust don't bother, the courts don't make them, and the gov't just keeps whistling about how WONDERFUL they are. This could almost be termed the 'Rangel fallacy,' since it ignores the fact that classism and racism are institutional as well as social. We don't have much justice now -- how are we going to get any with a law that enslaves the population to wars of profit based on the idea that the lawyered up rich kids will serve? It's stupid, or at best rhetorical.
