Specifically, would you be willing to send your son or daughter? Is the justification for being at war enough in your opinion to risk the life of your son or daughter? Thanks.

The military produces some of the most successful people that enter civilian life. Those that serve in combat are even more likely than others to attain success.
We are fighting an extremely important war. As my father said, I have "done my part" and as I told him, I will not shirk from returning. No parent likes their kids to take risk but enlistment in the military is not a parent's decision except for the short year when the kid is 17.
Yes, I would encourage my kids (if I had them) to do their part as well. I do encourage those that are of the correct mindset and morals to enlist. I discourage those that cannot hack it, have bad morals or criminal backgrounds.
To understand the enemy and threat we face, to hear of our successes and compassion, read my blog: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-DfkctJU7dK5B7LcNROoyVQ--;_ylt=AvKCmn92W_FCk0ugZGetFge0AOJ3?cq=1
No Politics. Just the groundtruth from one that has BEEN THERE, backed up by independent research, historical and religious study and personal experiences of myself and others that have BEEN THERE.

I just recently tried https://tr.im/sWhtW last month to see if I could track down my birth-parent. My bio father left me when I was 8, and has refused to contact me since. I grew up with my biological Mother and Step-father. I have only ever talked to my biological dad a couple times till recently. All I knew of him personally when I conducted the search was his full name, and the state of a previous address he used to have.
When the results came back based on the minimal info I had, It pulled up a current address even his phone number. When I called the phone no., I heard the voice of what sounded like it may be my step-brother. I asked if Joseph(my bio father) was present, and he said no but to try back after 7.
I haven't done anything with the info since, But yeah I found what I was interested in.

This is a bigger picture then the Son or Daughter theory.
We are talking holding the terrorist to one region not allowing them to spread.
For this reason the Whole World needs to be involved. but again it is the USA taking the proverbial Bull by the horns and initiating it. While other countries criticize and cry about us being there. Just like WWII when British forces were crying about us taking cities before them. So we allowed them the leading role and they still had a hard time so the USA came and bailed them out but let the Brit's have the glory. Canada is involved because they want recognition as a participant, France well enough said on them, Germany just recently got involved but have denied involvement due to attitudes. It is about time EVERY Country gets involved in stomping out terrorists.

I been over there, and its not as bad as the media puts it out to be.
To Pisces Taylor, you have the freedom to say what you said, because your dad is over there fighting to give you that right. In a perfect world, everyone would love each other, but that isn't the case now. Until that day happens, people will have conflicts and war.

My son is 11 years old. When he was 8 he told my husband and I that he wants to be in the Marines or the Army when he turns 18. I will support whatever my son wants to do with his life. If he joins and is sent to a war zone, I will support him. I would worry myself sick, but that is just something I would have to deal with.

I come from a long line of military people. Most have them have served in a conflict or war. I am very proud of them. My husband, brother-in-law, two of my cousins, and about six of my friends are currently serving. I would be very proud to have my son or daughter serve.

Im confused, just how does one send their own children to war ?
Are you allowed to take your 15 year old down to the recruiting station and forcefully enlist them, against their wish's ?
Or are you trying to say, that since Bush's daughters haven't enlisted, then that means the war in Iraq is wrong ?
But if you are saying that, wouldn't that mean the war in Afghanistan is also wrong?
