    My son could be a 4th generation Marine. I’ve done everything I can to talk him out of joining. Fighting wars for israel is not our problem and I don’t want to send him to the meat grinder Uncle Joe is trying to fire up.

    I see dozens of young men and women who, like many of us, are writing a blank check to uncle Sam. That check is payable up to, and including, the lives of these future warriors. God Bless each and every one of you.
