In the meantime, I know 3 families personally, and others through word-of-mouth by acquaintance, who are sending their sons to war.

These are young men who are volunteering to serve. They are not being "sent" by their parents. The Dems like to characterize our troops as children who are being given to the military by their parents. They shouldn't be demeaned in this way.

I did not intend to be demeaning to these young men. My apologies to your sensibilities.
