DJT has 1 Son, and 2 grandchildren of Military age.

If we're going to have "Boots on the Ground" in Venezuela and
in (God only Knows) other Hot-Spots-- I would remind eveyone that

DJT's son, Barron Trump is 19 years old...

GrandDaughter Kai Trump, (Don Jr's daughter) is 18 years old.

Also Grandson Donald Trump III (also, Don Jr's Son) is 16 years old.
(for Reference: My Dad went into WWII at 16yo).

Barron has already registered for selective service.

it's the poor and middle class that bear that burden.

That's why it's easy for them to decide to go to war, all they have is the profit they make from war, with no personal losses to worry about.
