My family serves the Republic and the Constitution. It has always been so. My son serves now, following in the footsteps of his father, his grandfather, his great grandfathers and so on back to the beginning. America needs her best and brightest, now more than ever. All patriots, military and civilian must insure that the Dream continues. Poor leadership is no reason to abandon the Republic now.
I respect your decision. I am just concerned about the ROE, the confused and sometimes just plain wrong missions, the women in combat stuff, and the new homosexual power structure. I don’t want our lives submitted to that.
ROE are never perfect; missions are sometimes confused or misguided, even in the best of times. But the homosexualization was the tipping point, at least for me.
If any of my sons want to serve, I’d share my concerns, but support them if they decided to serve. I also greatly respect those faithfully serving in the military under such currently bad conditions.
“My son serves now...”
Make sure he knows not to fire on American citizens. That won’t be well received.
