During World War II, we had rationing, scrap metal drives, housewives working in defense factories. Soldiers faced death on the front lines, but every American was expected to make some sacrifices to help the war effort.

We’ve made a lot of progress since those days. Now the president can ship our boys and girls in uniform off to fight and die whenever and wherever he wants to. The American people—well, except for the boys and girls in uniform, of course—can sleep easy, knowing they will never be asked to make any sacrifices for the war effort.

So, how dare Ward Sutton suggest that home-front patriots who have already gone above and beyond the call of duty should do even more?
