There's no military conflict we're currently engaged in that's in defense of our country. It's all offense.
If it were my kid, I'd be strongly opposed to their joining up RIGHT NOW. I'd also recognize they're adults and can make their own decisions.
I'm also not a politician and have no influence as to where my kid would go, unlike McCain and Palin. I have all the respect in the world for the people who are actually working. The one giving the orders and/or taking cushy jobs, not so much.
