Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 You could take hope from the fact that huge numbers in the USA military are now refusing to sign up for another term, or going AWOL. The general morale is very very low because the men know the current war is illegal and unjustified - I think what they are saying is not being reported much in America though. But your son will meet these ideas and that will help him be more realistic. Please, please, please Keep this kind of divisive opinions out of our self improvement group.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I might be jumping the gun here, but I don't think was finding fault in her son's decision to join the military, just asking us to pray that he stays safe. And that I will definitely do.. Kathie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Shan,If you want the truth.. The path my son was headed down was much more dangerous then the one he is now headed into.I feared more for his safety here then I do in the US Air Force.I just asked for prayers. I guess I probably shouldn't have on this list but it was unexpected that he left so soon. Wereceived the phone call yesterday at 4:30pm and he left today at 6pm. This was totally out of the blue as he was told probably October...He just signed up less then a week ago The only prayers I am asking for is that Gods will be done.. I leave therest in Gods hands. Sorry I hate boards that discuss God and Politics and that was NEVER my intention. I didn't mean to start this type of discussion.Thanks again, in Texas (TnT)Give yourself a real pay raise. GET OUT OF DEBT! Re: Prayer request> I don't think was finding > fault in her son's decision tojoin the military, just asking us to pray > that he stays safe.Sorry I maybe put my foot in it esp reading 's post - I know aminority do support this war but I didn't think parents did.It never occurred to me that a mother would feel anything but totalhorror because the only way a son will stay safe is to get out.Prayers don't change the risk because plenty of kids get prayed forand it doesn't keep them safe.I did once meet a mother in America who said she was proud to send herson to die in Vietnam but I thought she was crazy poor thing. This goes right outside my universe. Apologies again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Sue that is wonderful!!!!! How great to share your time and caring for those who need it. Many hugs and blessings to you Leena PS I am proud of your selflessnesssue miles wrote: Hi, I am Canadian. I felt a need to make a difference about 18 months ago to someone who has made the ultimate choice and sacrifice i respect so much. I am non-partisan however as a human being to another there were military personnel over there with no one to support them....so i found this amazing place called adopt a platoon, the angel network, and many other incredible sites that are non political but want to make sure they are not forgotten in between the yeahs and nahs, truths and lies. I have adopted four amazing soldiers/marine/pilot who have taught me more about the human spirit than words can describe. We don't talk about politics, war, religion, but what we do talk about....is the boring the ordinary the humor about everyday civie life. They have welcomed me with open arms although i am of another country...i will always thank adopt a platoon for this experience. There is much to be done.....for or against doesn't make a difference it creates indifference. take care of you suelabtrek1941 wrote: Shan, The Iraq war is a totally divisive issue here, even in families. My son and his wife are totally behind President Bush and the war. They have a college age son, and I asked them how they would feel if he were over there. They anwered that it is not an issue as he is the only son, so would not be required to serve. I am pretty sure they are wrong, but I do feel that the only real measure of one's support is what you have to lose and are willing to risk. The real test would be if we reenacted the draft One of my best friends, a nurse, lost her job and home to Hurricane Katrina, then lost her son in Iraq in October. She is now raising his children (he was divorced and had custody). I would have to respect her opinion, whatever it is. She has earned the right to it, but at what cost. All I can do is support those I love, as I can surely not change their opinions. Whatever feels, I am sure she would support her son in his decision which was seriously and thoughtfully made, I would guess. She supports him, we support her. All that matters, ultimately.
