I won't send my son to Afghanistan

[Bluesaph]

We have dual citizenship and if he were drafted he’d be on the first flight out of here.

If I wouldn’t send my son I wouldn’t send anyone else’s either.

That’s not because I don’t care. It’s because I don’t believe we would make a difference. We can’t stay there forever.

Just stop with misinformation. Good lord.

7. If Republicans steal elections don't put it past them!

And I suggest everyone be prepared. Here in CA they have succeeded in recalling one governor and could succeed again. Do NOT be complacent.

8. Recruitment will probably go back up after this action...

20 years of war can have a dampening affect on the desirability of a military career.
