Tough Question

My best friend and I were talking today about this and I wanted to know your thoughts.

Would you want your son to be in the military? Why or why not?

On one hand I do, it's an honor, you are serving your country. I think it's a very honorable profession.

On the other hand I worry about Sean and how his body is already broken down more than it should be for a man his age, mostly because of his training and his jumps he does. Also I worry now about future deployments. Will we still be fighting a large, ongoing war when my sons are old enough to be in the military? Can I handle that many more years of worry? Selfishly I want to say no.

I'm on the fence though. Ultimately it wouldn't be up to me or Sean. It would be up to my child.

Let's hear your thoughts ladies!
