Rich and middle class are over there because they want to, because it's the "right thing to do." The poor, like the ones from Flint and Pontiac Michigan, are over there because the recruiters wouldnt get out of their face and money was promised to them, and to their families, if they fought. For some, they dont really have a choice, its poverty or war.
