It's certainly not projection, considering that I have absolutely no experience of being comfortably middle-class and thus can't project bourgeois cluelessness onto others (though I certainly can recognize it when it's shoved in my face).

When people sanctimoniously yammer about how "They don't have to be there! There's no draft!" and the like, it's a safe bet that they know nothing about necessity.

If it makes you feel all big and tough to sit in the comfort of your home condemning people who are actually in danger, then feel free. Whatever gets you through the night....

But when that keyboard cowboy rush wears off, you might want to consider the possibility that one can oppose the war without condemning those who have been forced to fight it. Black/white thinking is very limiting, you know--maybe you should try to escape from it.
