22. And one way to force them to break from that
is to force them to serve

Yuo know the British Empire had many faults, human rights, abuses, yuo menmtion it, But one thing they did right is that if you wanted all that priviledge that came from being in the upper crust, you had to serve, either in the home regiment, that got deployed from time to time... or preferably in the system of Imperial Administration. This forced many a young men (women need not aply at the time) to go serve on the far corners of the Empire. It also led to some of the best critiques of the Empire, (George Orwell for example was a member of the Imperial System).

Now compare this to the American Empire. Who serves? Those who are on lower rungs of society. Who beneifts? Those who never risk a thing

Don't you think it is time to make them serve? I mean the rich and powerful.
