Egad! I don't want my boys to die in a war, either, but if they're called to fight for freedom, then I'll pin on a smile and say, Go do it, boys!

A line from Toby Keith's "American Soldier" comes to mind:
"I don't want to die for you
But if dying's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
'Cause freedom don't come free!"

That is what these women need to understand. I have 6 grandchildren (3 of each). I don't want them to have to go to war. But with terrorists, we are at war whether I want it or not.

None of us are 'safe' if a homicide bomber comes through a door where we are. We must take the fight to them. I would like to see a geriatric army put together to fight these SOBs. I'll take my cane and try to hit them on the head to protect my grandchildren. We have had a beautiful life in this wonderful country. I would like to see some of that available to my grandchildren.
