Buzzman, I can certainly empithize as to how you feel about letting go of your son, knowing he is most likely to be deployed to Iraq. My grandson, who passed up a football and wrestling scholarship to join the army is waiting orders as I type to go to Iraq. We can only wish them well and pray for their safe return. If, God forbid they don't come back, we are left to memorialize them for what they are, "Heros". One thing that causes me to not grieve unnecessarily is the fact that through personal experience, I realize that there is no guarantee that if they had not chosen to serve in the military, that they would have remained safe. I did not serve in the military, only because I blew out a knee playing football, even though I could have been killed in the tractor roll-over I had a few years earlier. My cousin less than 1/4 mile down the road didnt serve, only because he had his right foot nearly severed by a cicle bar mower when he was 7, because his Dad couldnt stop the tractor in time because he had his leg nearly shot off in Iwo Jima. My other cousin just 1/2 mile away didnt serve because he died at age 13 in a tractor roll 0ver accident. Then there are cars, random violence, and a multitude of things that may bring the same result as to lose one of our sons in the military. I guess what I am saying is that unless we hear the worst, we must hope for the best, lest we worry ourselves sick.
