Your post, as well as some before yours, is offensive to me. My sons are in the Army Reserve. They serve because they choose to. No one has forced them to sign up. They love the Army, love this country, and admire our President. No one forced any of our military to join. They are all volunteers and know it is part of their job to go where they are sent. This is a chance they take in return for the numerous benefits, including free college education. No one wants to lose a child. But I already know that if one of my sons loses his life there, he will have died doing what he wanted to do and doing it proudly.
