It was a very different time. The people who fight your wars are not feeling included in todays society. In 1941 my father enlisted in the navy. Right after pearl was attacked. Today I tell my 18 year old son, you will not join the military for any reason even if the USA is attacked. Even if the Russian army is in Atlanta. You will not go. Nor will I. It is not because we are cowards. It is because our country has excluded our kind. We love our flag. We are told it is a symbol of hate. NRA members are terrorists. I know some NRA members. They are not violent people. If you believe in god you are not a believer in science. I know PhDs in physics who believe in god. Defund the police. I have been called xenophobic racist white privileged. None of these things are true. My mother is a Cuban immigrant. My wife is from a country close to Ukraine. My BIL was a member of a dept of state to Ukraine. I am none of these things. I don’t love the direction my country is going. I do not support the values it is instilling in my new culture. So my family is sitting the next one out. Let the people who call me racist privileged misogynist homophobic etc. LET THEM GO TO WAR. Am I outraged at what is going on in Ukraine. Yes. I am not going to fight and die or give my son to a country that does not love me as much as I used to love it.
