I am a very proud 11C1P who served under the great Ronald Reagan. Back then I hoped as I got older I would have a son who would also follow his previous generations and serve this great country that has served us so well.
Today I have that son, although only 13 years old. Would I let him enlist today hell #### no.
That saddens me to my core.
I found myself trying to dissuade a young man from joining the military, suggested the Texas State Guard instead, because he was devout Christian.
Me too FRiend.
My son was to carry on the proud tradition set by my Dad in WWI, carried on by me in Vietnam.
He did Jr. High and High School JROTC and wanted to go on to the ROTC program at Oregon State University.
We had a long talk. He cried and so did I.
Never 0bama's Military!
Only in time of war when America needs more patriots!
