But you have no facts to support your claim. Your claim is false. 
 
A bibliography is not proof. If you provide the facts I will reply. 
But why should we have this discussion? So you can insult me with stupid
questions like, does equality mean anything to you. 

When we look at the facts, we can identify a difference in the economic
 status of the people that served in the USA services during W.W.II and
 since W.W.II.

You claim that the economic status of W.W.II soldiers was higher than
the economic status of soldiers since W.W.II. 

I disagree with your claim. I asked you to provide facts. You have not.
It is unlikely that you will. 

End of discussion,
