The answer to this one is easy, even for flaky Father Mike:

Thank the good Lord for Lamar's courageous decision to defend all of us and pray for his safety and success.

ROFLMHO! Since Pfleger's not supposed to have kids anyway, I find this deliciously ironic. :-)

"When he first told me that this was something he had made a decision to do, I was shocked, I have to admit that,"

Cut the cord, pop. Your son is more grown up than you are.

Best wishes to the young man, and may God keep him safe.

I sympathize with his father, even though I disagree with him ... it's very hard for any parent to have a child reject your strongly-held convictions.

You do what every parent should do. Love and support your children, and uphold their dignity.

And I support him 100 percent in his decision.

I don't believe him.

I'm glad his father is supporting his decision - but may if his son does go to Iraq he will get a different perspective about what is really going on over there than what the liberal talking points are telling him how to think each day.

Say what you will about Fr. Mike's politics, but he must have been a good parent.

There are times that God uses ways to change minds and hearts.

Obviously the son grew up and felt in his heart that daddy was wrong-headed!! He decided not to be like him.

What's a peacenik to do when son joins Army?

1. Suck it up.

2. Be very proud that you have raised a son to be a better man than you are. That is all any of us can hope to do.

It's all about the peacenik and how he feels.
How typical, tired, and dull.

This from a kid who wasn't allowed to play with toy guns as a child.

In my experience, these are the folks who turn out to be damn fine marksmen.

"I told him, I cannot feel good about it because he's my son

*************

I would have had more respect for him if it weren't for that statement. The last thing his son needs as he goes off to war is to have this on his mind.

Someone posted that the son is more mature than the father. I have to agree with that.
