I saw a military recruitment TV commercial the other day, in which a
parent was sort of asked, "if your child asks about going in the military,
what would you say?" kind of thing. Those weren't the exact words, but
close enough. The idea was that parents should have "information" so they
can answer their kids' questions and help them decide upon the military.


This newsgroup and it's political discussions has caused me to think about
something that never crossed my mind. I need to ask my father (retired air
force pilot) why he and my grandfather (army, infantry) never encouraged me
to join the military. It will be interesting to know if my father thinks
his grandson should join the military.
