Question 7

For the following question,refer to the following excerpt. The children of the bright,good parents were spared the more immediate sort of suffering that our inferiors were undergoing.And because of that,when our parents were opposed to the war,they were opposed in a bloodless,theoretical fashion,as they might be opposed to political corruption or racism in South Africa.As long as the little gold stars [sent to parents whose son was killed in war] kept going to homes in Chelsea [a working-class part of Boston] and the backwoods of West Virginia,the mothers of Beverly Hills and Chevy Chase and Great Neck and Belmont [all affluent suburbs] were not on the telephone to their congressman screaming,"You killed my boy." ...It is clear by now that if the men of Harvard had wanted to do the very most they could to help shorten the war,they should have been drafted or imprisoned en masse.
