Serious question: do you think any politicians who haven’t personally served (and several who have) actually has any regard for any human life other than their own and whomever they may love?

Honest answer - yes, I think most politicians probably have some regard for human life, even if a much, much lower regard than most of us. And even those who don't usually have some regard for what the waste of human life will get them in the history books.

Those who lack both, entirely, are exceptional, if not nearly as exceptional as they should be.

I used to think so. They eat and breathe the same pollution, whether they think so or not, and I daresay drink it. I think they just think because their sellout money buys them a better quality life longer than ours, they simply don't value any life, at all. It's just another means to the end of stacking paper that only holds value because they pretend, and got everyone else to pretend it does.
