against drones and hyper sonic missiles. I always thought the military was 20 years ahead of us technologically so I feel they are ready. On a ship where can you go if you protest? Your Son will do his duty just as others have.
He will be fighting for the people on his left and the people on his right if a fight comes.
If you talk to him tell him PWB is proud of him.

Peace.
