Why can’t these ultra wealthy people send their own families to fight these wars. Leave us regular people out of it!

Just last week, my Lebanese friend here in Canada just announced that his brother, along with his wife and two children, all died during an Israel bombing in Lebanon. They were just regular, peaceful people living their quiet lives. They loved the USA, had no hate in their heart, and yet they are now dead. This geopolitical talk has its place, but here's a friendly reminder that innocent people DIE during wars. This could have all been avoided if the people on top were not egomaniacs. It's really sad that the world keeps being shaped by a bunch of raging maniacs. We're not going to survive this way.
