        They also view wayward youths as cannon fodder for their endless wars. Let the games begin.

        Attitudes toward endless war would change dramatically if the US still had a draft (which is probably why the Pentagon doesn't want it)

        While they themselves were playing board games at home when their fathers died in the wars. Classic moral high horse w/o legs.

        that "morally wayward" thing is always projection from the morally irredeemable.

        The difference today is that there is no draft (which likely meant that people like Joe Scarborough never had to serve)
