I won't send my son to Afghanistan [View all]

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.
