NO One should ever have to have a child go to war,it is not a glorious thing it sucks,it is never fun.I know I wore the Uniform of the US Air Force during the 70's when we were in a different but equally unpopular war.We were told that we were there to stop the take over of a country.we believed that,at least I did.Untill we were pulled out and the contry was taken over any way.So what was the scense it that why did so many young American men have to die? I will always Support our Military,I will do that,the policies of our government well that is a horse of a different color.Especially when we were lied to on why we went to war. I have Peace globes on two sites come on over and check the out if you wish. http://mjgolch.wordpress.com and http://mjgolch.blogspot.com First of all let me say I really enjoy seeing the globes that you have posted.

Warning -- you may need Kleenex handy to read this one. He has the most wonderful smile. Those dimples are adorable and his eyes are full of mischief. Long ago, a young boy got a hold of spray paint and decorated my now favorite chair. How can he be ready to turn 18? It's so tough to guide a child through life. To keep them safe and close. Children want to grow up too soon. Boys believe they're invincible. No matter what we say or do - they are not ready to listen. So, is it selfish to want the best for your son? To want to see a grandchild with cute dimples and mischief in their eyes? If it is, then let the hedonism begin! I think your blog should have come with a disclaimer.

It’s so tough to guide a child through life. To keep them safe and close. Children want to grow up too soon. Boys believe they’re invincible.

No matter what we say or do – they are not ready to listen.

So, is it selfish to want the best for your son? To want to see a grandchild with cute dimples and mischief in their eyes?

If it is, then let the hedonism begin!

I lived this right along with you as I read it. I am the mother of two daughters and can only imagine your fear. I felt something similar when my husband was on alert three times but that can't be anything close to the feeling of a mother and a son. Peace and kindness to you!

The idea of following your leaders without choice, even if you personally feel a cause is wrong, is horrifying to me. The thought of him being in danger, or hurting others, or occupying a nation for someone else's political reasons, or returning damaged is frightening. But I'm a girlfriend of a woman who served in the first Iraq war, in a position where she was fired upon while protecting her troops. And I'm a daughter of a woman who worked in Intelligence during the Korean War. These women found direction and strength in the military. And I cannot help but be in awe of their sacrifice to protect our country. I've told myself that I will support my son in whatever calling he has, be it as a scientist, an artist, an attorney, a teacher, or anything else. If I love him, and if it is his dream, I think I will have to support him if his calling is to be a soldier. One more mom sacrifice to make.
