patriotism
the other night i met this young kid, 22 years old i think he is, that had recently enlisted in the armed forces. we talked for a while and it came out that he didn�t support bush or the war, but enlisted because it was the �right� thing to do. i�ve been thinking about this kid, why in a time of war would he voluntarily join the military, especially given his objection to it. i couldn�t get an answer from him that seemed �acceptable� to me. but at the end of the night i gave him a hug, wished him all the best and told him to stay safe.
