As far as your brother, there are many volunteers joining today to take his place. I volunteered for my war and honestly probably would today but there is not much of a demand for 58 year olds.

But if you ask the American people, you'll get yet another response. According to statistics from the National Opinion Research Center, as reported by Baker, large numbers of American define themselves as "working class" or "middle class," including:
50% of those families who earn between $20,000 and $40,000 annually
38% of those families who earn between $40,000 and $60,000 annually
16.8% of those families who earn over $110,000 annually
