My best wishes to you and your son Laurel,I hate war too even though I've never been in one or in the military.
I never said anything up here about it before but in Nov. 2002,I was actually trying to be inducted into the Army. I didn't pass my physical but all around me were young men & women who did and as I left the downtown building,I looked at the faces of all these young people who just might be going to war. (I belived at the time it wouldn't happen.)
I can't help but wonder now,how many of them are not here anymore out of those I talked to and saw coming and going. Reminds me of the scene in Good Morning Vietnam when stopped in the roadway Williams entertains some troops for a few minutes and then when they start to leave he watches these yuong men that may not return.
Like the now late Edwin Starr said,"War,what is it good for,absolutley nothing." That's not just a song...it's the truth. +
