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. Congrats to him. I'd like to hope the situation in Iraq improves and stabilizes or even gets resolved before he's eligible to be deployed. Thank you Chuck. We will be getting a first hand report on the *actual* conditions there well before he is slated for deployment to Iraq as 2 of our best friends sons (US Marines) are soon scheduled for redeployment to Iraq. |

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? |

Eisbcoh 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. |

Give it cynicism a rest - it and you are getting boring. |

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. |

Considering "daddy" was an ex POTUS. Violating (any single term) the CFA of GF1 was another "legit" reason.... and he violated several. I thought WOMD was risky and lame........ (and proved so) -W |

(and proved so) -W None of Bush's stated reasons for invading Iraq have turned out to be legitimate. It's a b.s. war, perpetrated by a b.s. president and a criminal vice president. The two ought to resign for the good of the republic. "He tried to kill my daddy" is no reason to send 3600 Americans to their deaths. |
