We're on the same side here and I'm not arguing with you, but tell me honestly, would you want your son in harm's way with Kerry at the switch?

Probably not. But if he really wanted to go, I wouldn't try too hard to dissuade him. I'd trust his judgment to pick the right MOS and to become well trained enough to survive. I believe in the total sovereignty of God. He holds dominion over my life and over the lives of my family. Had I a son, and he wished to go, I and he would trust in the Lord.

BTW, my best friend just retired from the army as a SpecOps 05 (LTC) and his son just graduated last year from West point and already has orders to Afghanistan with the airborne. So, yeah, young folks I know real well (I've known this buddy for 32 years, we went to high school and served together on the same post--but different units) are going in harms way for the next President. 2nd Lieutenants in the kids branch are being used for convoy duty in Afghanistan right now. My buddy is worried of course. He's saying Damn use me! BTDT already. But it's time for a new generation of warriors to save the republic. That's just the way it is. Doesn't matter who the CINC is, the job still has to be done and done right.
