I am old enough to be your grandfather. You are a very astute young lady. Do not join the marines or any service. Because after November you will surely be ordered to do the devil's work. Regardless of who is elected. Be strong. Never surrender your beliefs. But keep silent when it is advantageous in the presence of enemies. I truly wish you well for you are the future.

“And so my generation will let the lifeblood of America, this beautiful and righteous nation, slip through the cracks in their fingers as they each look at the blood on their hands and point to the rest of us, blaming us for trying to save her while we still could.”

I respectfully disagree. Our generation (I’m 18) grew up in the shadow of 9/11. Patriots of our generation are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan right now. You should not judge an entire generation based on one college campus.

“Do not join the marines or any service. Because after November you will surely be ordered to do the devil’s work.”

Sir, that is bad advice. Our military and this country have withstood bad Presidents before. We withstood Jimmy Carter and even a civil war. I believe it is a line from the movie, The Patriot, “Will you when your country needs you most stop only at words?” Our country faces enemies from within and from without and it is the pinnacle of selfishness to refuse to defend her simply because you disagree with the policies of the (then) current administration.
