Did your son ever mention which of the list of vaporous invasion reasons he clung to in order to remain sane in Iraq? Although humorous at times, you are basically a clueless idiot. I thought it was a reasonable question. We were presented with an initial list of reasons, some of which evaporated and were replaced by others. You're a smart guy, so it follows that you raised a smart son. I doubt he went based only on faith. It's not a reasonable question and you know it. And you know why you asked it. Give it cynicism a rest - it and you are getting boring. It's not cynicism, Tom. It's clear reasoning. People should not make decisions based on pure faith unless those decisions stand no chance of affecting anyone else. If Bush believed his evolving list of reasons, the only possible explanation is faith. That breaks my rule. I don't believe in sending other people's kids into harm's way based on faith. |

Ironic. Your son is starting his duty. Mine, (Eisboch Jr.) was just discharged yesterday after 4 years and two deployments to the Persian Gulf. Life goes on. Eisboch Did your son ever mention which of the list of vaporous invasion reasons he clung to in order to remain sane in Iraq? Stop being an ass Doug. Honest to pete. Sorry. I forgot to check the list of approved questions. Drop it already. You have already proven in this thread how much of an asshole you are.....there is no need for further proof Doug. |

Based on your reaction, nobody can say a word while our soldiers are at war. Therefore, all a president needs to do in order to silence the population is make sure we are perpetually at war. It's magic. |

I forgot to check the list of approved questions. Not the point and you know it. The point is that we should be quiet, right? Don't cause parents of soldiers any more worry than they may already have? The quiet ain't gonna happen. The time to worry about your kids is when they're still close enough to learn some history, and spot politicians who are doomed to repeat it. Talk to me when your adult son or daughter decides he/she wants to serve his/her country. Until then, your opinions are noise level bull****. Eisboch |

August 13, 2007. One day before our 25th Wedding Anniversary our son leaves for Paris Island. He is slotted for Military Police training after completing basic training and *earning* his right to officially call himself a Marine. He originally planned delayed entry in mid September but the MP opportunity came up if he went in earlier. Even before his decision to join the Marines he has been concentrating on his physical condition, recently completing a community event 5 mile race and finishing in 2nd place. He will continue with the physical preparation but will now start to mentally focus on the fact that he will be leaving for Paris Island in 6 weeks. We are very proud of him and his decision to join the Marine Corps. Tell him Sempre Fi for me. It's really an amazing thing to do and a difficult choice but a wiser man than me once said that anything in life worth having doesn't come easy. Your son is going to know what those words mean real soon. I've never met him but I'm proud. Bill |

Sorry to disrespect the name. As long as he keeps his head on straight, he'll do fine. MPs is a good way to go - he'll almost be guarenteed a slot in law enforcement if he chooses that as a career. Good luck to him. Thanks. He was thinking Highway Patrol or city Police. My Dad was a Police officer for over 30 years before he retired. His recommendation is City departments if you want personal interaction with the people, or some specialized group. Drug enforcement agencies tend to have less political crap to deal with. I'm sure your son would make a fine addition to any force but many of them have been over liberalized to the point that he will be treated very badly by his own people. I hope this is not the case. |

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. |
