How appalling for you - a mother's total nightmare. It must be so painful to not be able to say very much to him to persuade him out of it - the child has to make his own decisions. I'm not sure what I'd do in this position - my desire would be to get tough and threaten to cut my son off completely if he tried anything like that but then he'd get stuvbborn and it'd become a rebellion issue. Although it can work with serious drug addiction so I guess it could be a last resort. 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. Over here recruitment to the military has almost stopped in spite of extra money offered, powerful campaigns etc and masses of our reserves have left the services without being replaced. AWOL is so high we now have a new law that makes it treason with a life sentence! I will pray your son quickly sees what's what and starts getting out with as little damage to his future as possible.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Will pray for your son too. My son was going to sign up for AF, but is now considering the Army. He likes their K-9 group better.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 > 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. Sorry I maybe put my foot in it esp reading 's post - I know a minority do support this war but I didn't think parents did. It never occurred to me that a mother would feel anything but total horror 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 for and it doesn't keep them safe. I did once meet a mother in America who said she was proud to send her son to die in Vietnam but I thought she was crazy poor thing. This goes right outside my universe. Apologies again.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hey everybody. Just wanted to ask you to pray for me tomorrow. I will be going into the Outpatient Surgery Center for an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. No major problems expected, but some things need to be looked into. Hope you all are doing as well as possible. Love and hugs............ Diane C. from TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
