    Definitely a class component, but even the upper crust has its black sheep. Compare your Beau and Hunter Bidens, for instance. Or consider the path Pete Buttigieg and Bill Clinton took on their way up the political ladder. Its an endless series of hoops to jump through, to prove you're a loyal and committed junior officer of the Empire, before they start sizing you up for Consul.

    One reason you still see a bunch of Congresscritters crawl out of the MIC. Or how many city politicians come up through the police force. There's no better indicator that you've been molded into a compliant lackey than bars on your shoulders.
