Hey, Bob, what was your attractive alternative? I might be interested...

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.............
