I'm glad that you're proud of your kid. You should know why other DUers arent't piling on. Hell, you should know. You let him go into the military... this messed-up military. You won't get any kudos from anyone on DU.

I've known you for years, and I can only hope you've raised a kid that will do us all proud - won't be implicated in torture or other war crimes. I was there, and I wouldn't have committed genocide because I was ordered to do so. I hope you taught your kid the same., and I think you did. But you let him go into the military. Series? He could have hung out with me doing mostly nothing for the next eight years if I thought I could spare him that.

Because of you, I'm going to ramp up my effort to provide and alternative. I love you, but I hate what you did - what my parents did to me.

In the end, I love you.

Chris

He is very intelligent, a socialist like his mom and Ive raised him well (I think)

And again, I totally get your feelings and respect them.




ps: I edited out the OP and this answer because this was probably the wrong place for it. I'm sorry if I upset anyone.
