Nope.they sure did but then again the rich could send their kids to military schools where you get trained to hand out the orders as an officer to the poor kids who happened to be the grunts.
You have to lead from the front, what you are discribing is only seen at the most senior level of modern armies.
You know where a VMI graduate was in WWI?
In FRONT of his troops, not hiding in a bunker.
You guys should do a little studying before you all talk about how drafts will win wars, and 'the rich' avoid them.
The truth is cowards avoid the fighting, not neccesarily the rich.
Back in the days of WWI, war was still considered a glorious adventure.
Which explains the government's unprecedented propaganda campaign to get public sentiment on their side since most of the U.S. population opposed entering WW1.
