Thanks.

Rich people don't fight unless drafted, and even then, they try to serve in the National guard Air force.
Can you tell me one single case of a rich guy that didn't flee his country at the time of need?

Oh yeah, I know some, but they are few and far in between.

Here are a few off the top of my head (and certainly not an exhaustive list). I'm not sure of all of their financial situations at the time they entered service, but I know at least some were quite well off (apologies for any misspellings).

James Stewart
John F. Kennedy
Joe Foss
Lyndon Johnson
John McCain
Jimmy Doolittle
George Bush, Sr.
Ted Williams
Collin Powell
John Kerry
Theodore Roosevelt
Dwight D. Eisenhower
George Patton
Gerald Ford
Jimmy Carter
Robert E. Lee
Andrew Jackson
George Washington (yes, it goes back to the beginning.)

Note that they come from both sides of the aisle politically, and most, if not all, entered service voluntarily.
