It is a scary time in the world and since we are actively in 2 wars, I know that he is more than likely to go into harms way. Even knowing this, if he is driven to protect this country fight for our rights and freedoms and he feels he is making a mature decision, then who am I to question him.
After all I did my best to instill in him a love of country and a strong patriotic home life.
So I will be proud of him and worry about him and pray for him and especially love the man he has become.

I worry that he will come back like one of his High School friends, who changed from a happy go lucky 18 year old kid to a raging alcoholic with horrible nightmares and PTSD, or that he won't come home at all. The Marine father in the story says our lack of artillery and air support for the troops is tantamount to suicide. That's worrisome to me.
Well, unfortunately that does happen, and quite often. I believe that PSTD is taken more seriously than it once was and victims are receiving treatment, and I can certainly understand your fears that he won't come home at all. Mothers throughout the ages have known that fear. But ultimately, to keep our freedoms for future generattions we must be willing to take those risks. Please don't take it that I am pro-war, because I'm not, but sometimes it's a necessary evil.
That said, if he asks for your advice, you should be open with your concerns about the risks and the dangers...and any worries you have about the appropriate of the decisions made by our leaders.

I've already explained the idea that one countries terrorist is another countries freedom fighter. Beyond that, he is going to have to decide if this is something he is willing to die for. If it is, then I will back him all the way.
