The middle-class demographic is what I experienced as well. What doesn't work is the fact that there is still no an equal social distribution in the military and there isn't enough of a military population to do the thing our current president wants to do (Let's be thankful for that.). I believe what Kahl (I think) said in the beginning about our government representatives and upper class individuals may think twice about being militarily aggressive because their children MAY have to suffer the consequences. In addition, I can guarantee you that the demographic of those that serve in a draft army era will be decidedly lower class. It's been that way through history. I don't have any feasible anwers to solve that. It's just the way it is, I guess.
