A law stating who goes to war first

In my opinion, there should be a law that states: If a president is going to declare war, then his children and all the politicians' children should be sent off to defend the country before civilians' children.

What do you think of my suggestion? Pros, cons, all hypothetical situations welcome.

The children of politicians are individual human beings. How is it fair to them that if their parent's support a war, they must fight in it?

The people who decide that we will go to war are too old to effectively fight in any such war. There is no moral founding what-so-ever to force the children of these politicians to fight in the wars of their parent's choosing.

Frankly, this is the worst kind of ideas: appealing at a base emotional level, but morally reprehensible.

we all do realize that leaders of countries have not battled each other for about 2000 years or more

Let women negotiate treaties. So we will sit down, have a nice piece of cake, some hot coffee, and talk about how we can create a peaceful situation. The guys have been playing Rambo for much too long, and look where it has got us. I think that women are much better at coming to peaceful conclusions.
