It might be a typo, but it sounds intriguing: "These are the ones who wanted all the benefits of risking your life, without actually risking their lives."

You're talking about GWB and his henchmen, aren't you? >:-D

If the US military were simply a mercenary army for hire, then I would agree with you. But it is supposed to be used only to defend the USA. The war in Iraq is not doing that. Notice the comment from the soldier willing to fight in Afghanistan, but not Iraq? He got it right.
