I can only imagine the thoughts that consumed your mind while waiting for news and only hearing silence aginst a canvas of white noise. I enjoyed your writing and was thuroughly impressed with your bio. Who would have thunk it? I will be back periodically to check in on ya. Have a blessed day.Accurate Cleaninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770814289430092351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-14262018260562124372010-02-18T11:33:54.088-08:002010-02-18T11:33:54.088-08:00You're a better person than me. I enlisted in...You're a better person than me. I enlisted in the Marines at 17, saw enough stuff going on in boot camp to know I wanted nothing to do with it and got out. Every military pamphlet that comes in our house goes straight to the trash. I told my son I did not want him to enlist in the military, not because I don't believe in it, or honor the men and women who serve, but because the people who call the shots could send my child to a needless, senseless death. I'd much rather my son have a say over whether he risks his life for a cause, not just going somewhere because he was ordered to. That said, if he truly wanted to go into the military and believed that good or bad, right or wrong, the military has more good and purpose to it than bad, and he truly wanted to be a part of it, I would support him. I just want him fully aware that politicians have too much say and their reasoning isn't always sound.VVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751403913379728345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-34692311243650627852010-02-15T13:39:41.870-08:002010-02-15T13:39:41.870-08:00Mike, you speak from your heart.

More importantly, I hope all the best for him for the duration of his time there.Belizegialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16177604514140233711noreply@blogger.com
