Lieberman: “I can forgive… but I probably won’t forget.”
Note to TVio,
You have a child in the military and for this reason alone you’ll be voting for Lamont. As far as I am concerned, nobody put a gun to your child’s head to join. Furthermore, why did your child join the military? Was it to belong to a social club? Or was it because he or she believed in the military, knowing full well that in case of declared war, your child would be deployed. A third possibility is that your child could have thought that the odds of going to war were second to none compared to the benefits of free education. If that is the reason, you loose my sympathy. Too many of our youth have joined for the wrong reasons and then declared themselves conciencious objectors once they are called to serve.
When my three sons were teenagers, I clearly informed them on how to make choices based on responsibility and integrity. They did and I will be supporting them entirely in their life for it, even if it becomes uncomfortable for me.
