Tass, there are anti-military counciling programs. Look up Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and they'll point you in the right direction.

Some platoon pugil stick drills will remove that commie porcessing. We can mold him into a killing machine. Let us have him. Maybe he will go Corps?

Spiffor, without guys like me, guys like you would be writing in French right now.

Is it just me, or is the sort of person who nicknames themselves 'Apocalypse' really the sort of person we want as an officer in the US military?

I understand you're worried, but it's not that bad. He'll have a great experience, and frankly I think every young man should join, just because of the experience of it.

It's not likely he will be killed, or has to kill someone. Possible, but not likely. Depends what he decides to do in the army and where he gets in. I think he will come back safe and in one piece and as good person as he entered, maybe even better.

Plus with all the benefits there are in the US military these days.. He'll do just fine. Support him and show that you might not agree with his decision, but you still are his father and you'll stand next to him even if the wind blows. He'll make lots of new friends that last for life and are very special that can't be broken. He can feel good about himself, and he's still young. Military record in resume can not be bad what ever he decides to do afterwards. If he decides to pursue career soldiering, then it's good because he has more time and at his early 20s is quite experienced soldier and still very young, and he can climb up the ranks if he does good.

If I think of the US, military is a good place for young man to be in. They have good team spirit and they don't have to deal with civilian crap all the time. It's a lot easier in that way. Also he'll get lucky with the ladies in that uniform! I think there are more dangerous jobs in the US. Like being a cab driver in NY, or some gas station clerk at night. He'll be in good hands and it's unlikely he gets hurt. And if he gets hurt, he gets to do it in a place he likes to be and he choose himself to be in, and not some random shooting outside a club or something.

He becomes man with honour and he learns responsibility at young age and what it truly means and gets to do heavy chores and actually clean when he makes mess and .. he'll be outstanding young man, don't be too worried!

Pekka's right Tass. Besides, now that homosexual gang rapes are trending down, it's tolerable.

Nope I'm from the suburbs of Paris, and I'm studying in Germany.
