Fireside: The 1% that fights our wars

On this Veterans' Day, Alyona looks at another 1% that the rest of the country has such a distance from. We'll take a look at a piece that will be coming out in Time Magazine later this month by Mark Thompson where he looks at the number of troops that have fought in our wars since 9/11 in and around Afghanistan and Iraq. That number is about 2.4 million, exactly 1% of the 240 million Americans over the age of 18. Don't let this 1% be separate from the other 99% of us.
