I was in Vietnam with a national serviceman by the name of Marcus Robinson. His family were super rich, his father was the producer of the TV show "Skippy". But his father, Lee Robinson, was also an ex WWII photographer and War Correspondent. He was proud that his son after him, served after being selected by the national serviceman ballot. So yeah, some of the richies served, those with the right patriotism and attitude. Young Skippy Robinson (Marcus) passed away some years ago now, he was a really nice guy and a good mate.

Yep, you're right. My 6 years in the army I only ever met Marcus from a rich family.
