[quote=Anonymous]I'm not going to flip out on him. I remember being a teen and I know that a parental freakout is a great way to get him to dig in his heels. And I have told him quite honestly about my friends who died and how I feel about it, but he is a teenager and of course seems to assume he is invincible. PP is right that he is young and may well change his mind. I encouraged him to look at defense contractors and things like that, as he is very engineering-minded and likes design. I'd rather him have a career helping the military than actually out there fighting. I just don't know if that will satisfy him. There's a huge part of him that just seems to want to put his ass on the line for something he sees as noble. [/quote]
