    nobility taking part in actual on-the-ground warfare.

    Weren’t Diana’s kids as involved as they were allowed? Chopper pilots and medics and stuff?

      Hats off to them! Where are the rest?

      The US doesn’t do conscription. We have something of an economic draft in this country. There’s a whole different conversation to be had about that. I suspect a non-zero change to the frequency and motivations behind our deployments to follow if we make earning privilege compulsory. Our veterans services would likely look a fair bit different as well.
