Unfortunately, a decision that less than 1% of our young people make. Hat tip to your patriot son and to you sir !

#4 Our thanks to young Rightwing, jr. for stepping forward – and for having what it takes. So long as young men and women like your son think this country is worth protecting, we'll be OK.

I seem to recall that Afghan troops are even more likely to suddenly try to massacre in their fellows than to go after foreigners... but that doesn't make it acceptable. Some cultures are much better than others.
