Yea, those are some of the good stories. I think that's wonderful too. I read alot about the boys who dont come home or if they do, with loss of limbs, or brain injury, or ptsd... and fighting the gov't for benefits!
.... the numbers are really overwhelming when you look at them. ...not that these soldiers should be numbers, but they end up to be. I find it too incredibly sad. |

My son was retired by the army at 23 shrapnel ?sp in his back, shoulders, hips, was in a convoy that hit a IED. Ptsd (post tramatic stress disorder) not how I wanted to see him struggle but it was his choice.

My son is in high school & in AFJROTC so I have nothing negative to say about the military. Also my husband was NAVY. I think military is great for structure for young people who don't know what direction they want to go. Plus the military will help pay for college.

I'd be proud of him, actually. There will always be wars somewhere. But the people I know who've served in the military are some of the best people I know or ever hope to know. It's a great career, and has really been a step in the right direction for a lot of people.
Hard topic, but I've always felt that way. Even before I married a career military person. |
