Parents have the right to lash out when they lose children. They get a pass. However, this father has to also understand that his son volunteered. No one forced him to serve in the military. He knew the risks, just as a policeman or fireman does. He volunteered for a very dangerous job. Personally, i catch hell all the time for advising youngsters against joining the military. My Neocon Republican friends think it's blasphemy. But then again, they never met a war they didn't like. They're all-in on this Perpetual War agenda.
But these days our Government is getting us involved with numerous wars that aren't about defending our country. They're wars for profit. And only the few Elites profit from them. Average Citizens never see the profits. In fact, they pay for all the wars with their blood & treasure. The Elites have no interest in sending their own children to die in far off hellholes. That's for the 'Little People.' Sadly, in most cases their children do die just so some Elites can profit. It's not about defending their country. I truly wish it was something noble like that, but it most often isn't. So, i recommend youngsters think long & hard before joining the military. They really could be sent to die for nothing.
