#3  /\ "Parasites" abound.

During the Vietnam conflict, Vice President Richard B. Cheney had 5 college draft deferments. If you had the means, others did the work and sacrificed. This method, in similar monetized forms, goes back to Union Army conscription in the Civil War.

Israel will sort it out. Military conscription of any kind is likely dead in this country.
