Do you even have kids?like i said before... no one in the military.... especially in the marines.... (first to go - last to know).... gets to choose which war they will fight... . or even where in the world they will be deployed if an active war is taking place..... . those in an amphibious assault unit on a ship that has been stationed off shore of iran since the war started have a pretty good idea.... .. but all their families can do at this point is pray and trust God to keep their family members safe.... ... things every military family does from the moment their loved ones join up...whether or not an active war is being fought....
if you don;t want your son to be in marines that;s fine... . if he doesn;t want to be a marine that;s fine too - even better..... .. but to say he could have been a marine..... and saying the government destroyed his dreams by getting the u.s. involved in the "wrong war" ... is in my opinion peeing on the graves of the sons and daughters of every military family who has to go to a national cemetary to visit them.. .... and who had no say in which war their loved ones were going fight in... or where they would be sent after joining up.....
you acted as if you and your son were being forced to make some huge sacrifice..... as if a change of career could even be compared to loss of life in a war.... ... ... but then i guess it shouldn;t surprise me... one of your supporters in this thread tried to make a comparison between serving in the military and a life ending organ donation....... ... all either of you did was to tell me you know nothing about the military..... never served yourself... and don;t have any close relationship with someone else who did..... all you have is criticisms and condemnations...
... being in the military is about serving your country... it;s not about serving yourself..... .. i know i said that before too but apparently you didn;t get it..... if you or your son can;t look at it and accept it that way - then he should stay out of it entirely .... and both of you should pray nothing happens that requires a draft someday.... .. at least until the war you approve of comes along....

@DrHuk&Duck better?
