Nothing at all. But I use it as an example, since we have a famous poltician who was put there instead of a more typically dangerous place supposedly due to his father's connections.

I agree with you.
For most people (unfortunately) it's all just a chess board with special effects on the news until our guys start dying.

Talking If I were to be drafted...

I wanna go to the Chicago Cubs

Btw, This draft reminds me of a popular country song from years back:

"Yipee-ki-aaaa, Cowpatty" (aka "Sounds like Bullsh-t to me")
