"Mainstream Moms".
In Bolinas.
Suuuuuuure.
Ms.Watson need have no fear of her son enlisting. With a mommy like her he has probably been brainwashed to hate his country, and will no doubt live at home in her basement until he's fifty!
Bolinas? Ya gotta be kidding me! Small hamlet north of San Fran filled with aging hippy's smoking dope! They're so far left they make the rest of California look conservative....
If parents won't give their permission to enlist, the kids just wait until their 18th birthday and sign up on their own....
By the way, did you see that the Army met its recruiting goals this month?

That didn't make as much news as when the Army missed its goals for four months straight.
LOL! Bolinas is about as mainstream as Berkeley.
Bolinas, in liberal Marin "Johny Taliban" County. Hardly mainstream.
