I understand your point but to be honest, our real problem lies in the violent upperclass. They have the power and money to avoid dying themselves while causing death, destruction and misery for huge masses of people.

A pyschopathic army grunt can kill dozens of civilians while deployed. A sociopathic VP (Cheney) or SoS (Clinton) overthrows countries (Iraq, Libya to name a couple) in wars that kill, maim and displace many millions while destroying entire economic regions for generations.

You have to be either a moron or purposefully obtuse not to see which is worse.
