Thoughtfully written post. I agree. My perspective is anti war. However my youngest son is about to enter service into the US. Marines. It is a knife edge to walk, supporting him and his choice of career and protecting my values. How that will happen constructively, remains to be seen.

That's definitely a tough road to walk. Ultimately, he's got to live his own life, and you've got the role to love him in whatever way is best for you both. You may be one of the most important grounding influences in his life as he goes through the indoctrination process. Hopefully he can remain true to a solid moral framework and be a positive influence on those around him. Good luck.
Thank you for the thoughtful reply. That helps. I'm thinking about letters I may be writing to him soon.
