Well its certainly not fair to consider in a narrow light. The fact is, there are tremendous geographic, ethnic and income concentrations in the military.
And why would it be a bad thing for Americans to more uniformly suffer the risks when they (as a nation) support a war?
Bottom line for me is that I don't care if infantry manpower ends up increasing. I'd rather just see some sort of shared and equalizing contribution to society from some of the groups and individuals that historically don't contribute anything near what they draw.
