I just got back from taking Ammo and his best friend to the movies (had to sign to get them in--some terrible Vampire movie-I said what am I signing? What bad thing are you seeing-Brian said, "It's ok, Mrs. Westbrook, it's not bad--it's just really violent") On the way we were talking about "the war". And I sat horrified because these two 15 year olds talked about wanting to fight for their country. "People fought for us. So we need to fight for the next generation." I thought I would die. MY generation had Vietnam and we lost all idealism, I guess. I hate war. And the thought of my boys fighting makes me truly ill. So I thought it was intriguing that they still have gotten some feeling of romance and patriotism about it all. At 15--I dunno-maybe it still has the feel of a Heroic Quest??? Haven't talked to my young cynic yet. CW I'm sure will have a unique viewpoint that involves making him king of the world. (Alcohol is about to be involved)
