One of my nephews is supposewd to ship off for Marine boot camp, in a couple 
of weeks.  I am more than a bit agitated with him and his father (my 
brother).  Those recruiters have promised him the moon; I told my brother he 
will be in some place like Afghnistan within a year, carrying a rifle.  I 
offered the boy a much more attractive alternative, but he thinks the 
'adventure' the military will provide is more attractive than what I could 
provide (he will soon learn he was wrong).

I'm happy for you that your son is in DC.  bev and Lynda both have sons off 
somewhere, too.  I worry about my nephew.  I can't think of any place in the 
world where we need to be fighting, right now.  But, fight we 
will.............
