    Who'da thunk joining the military would maybe involve warfare and danger?

    Perhaps your son made a bad career choice?

    At any rate, I pray for his safe return and for your peace of mind. Godspeed to him.

    And read :

    he is NOT ok He is proud but he believes that we are dishonorable in some of our endeavors

    what a sarcastically shitty thing to say to a mother who is obviously suffering and feeling low.

    edited to add: i'm sorry but REALLY, are you made of stone?

    and miata, i hope your son stays out of harms way and returns home safely.

    I don't feel it was "shitty" at all. Just my reality. Shoulda been his.

    Joining the MILITARY means much more than a paycheck. The fact is, you are volunteering for warfare, infantry, killing, maiming, and swear an oath to follow the dictates of the COMMANDER IN CHEIF, whoever he or she may be.

    That is the reality of signing up. It is a big step, and not to be taken lightly. No I am not "made of stone". I feel deeply for this woman, and her son. I think he made a bad career choice is all.

    Little witch,

    I don't think you are showing any empathy at this time.

    Yes, your comment was shitty and very uncalled for. Please deleate your posting. It is mean and hurtful to a woman who is grieving over a situation that she or her son did not ask for. (being sent back to war and not having the option to not go)

    Miata, my sympathy for what you are going through.

    As teejay said

    I hope your fine son stays safe and you get him back just as he left.

    No, I will not "delete my post". Further, I question your ability to verbally spank me for daring to post my opinion on a DISCUSSION BOARD.

    Frankly, I would rather discuss my opinion with the poster of this thread, and explain to HER my feelings.Do you think she is unaware that her son made a mistake? She said as much!

    do you think you contribute to the rules here?

    expressing your feelings in an attacking way, obviously political feelings, is not kind, Little Witch.
