any more worry than they may already have?

It's not your choice and it's not your decision. Further, it's not
your child.

In short, it has nothing to do with you, your opinon on the war, your
opinion of politicians or your opinion about anything.

Jim's son made his choice - I happen to know it was an informed choice
and he made it in the light of day. It's his decision. Jim has the
right to be proud of his son if it were the Air Force, Army, Marines,
Coast Guard or (THE HORROR) Navy because he is serving his country in
an honorable fashion.

It's a thread about Jim, his family and his son's decision. This is
not a thread about you and your faux intellectual opinons about life
the universe and everything.

I agree that he's got the right to his choice and his opinion, even now when
a certain segment of the population thinks that only one type of opinion
should be expressed. I'm just curious to know what the reasoning is because
when people like Richard Lugar begin to question the president's plan, we
know the foundation is cracking. Even senior members of the Iraqi government
are saying that our goals are bizarre.

In the past, you've said it was just an honor to serve in uniform, but
that's too general a statement at this point in history.
