I don’t think a mother ever brought a child into the world so that he might lay his life on the altar of war, that monument to human stupidity and aggression.  But little boys grow and look to become men, and mine looks to men in uniforms and seeks to give his life meaning by serving a cause.  He has enlisted now in the Guard.  His father took him to sign the papers. He will serve the usual monthly weekends after basic training but is not eligible to be deployed until he finishes a couple of years of college and possibly even all of it. I hope the world is a better place by then.
