Howdy- GMA #3911 and I went over to the mall last night and I bought a pair of new hiking boots at the Big 5 sport'n goods store. I also checked the surplus Mausers and Nagants they sell, because they intrest me..
We killed some time at the book store, looked at magazines and at the discout rack.. then went for a Coke in the food court. Josh started telling me that kids of Hippies reverse the trends their parents insisted are worthy values, and then proceeded to explain that at 17 his generation isn't going to make the same mistakes... OK next topic.. WW1 and the reason Woodrow Wilson gave for throwing down on the Axis in 1917 Europe.. Josh explained that in his class he is reading about a nutralist attitude that was previlant in the USA at that time. Pres.Wilson feared what War would bring to the nation when ruthlessness came home to the land of peace and freedom. He beleved that the Men who we asked to become warriors could not return to live in peace. Not much from 1917 is still around... but these words caught me off guard. It seemed a strange concern, when Freedom was at stake and we were being "called to defend liberty".. I listened to my son explain history, and told Josh about Sarg. Alvin York of the US Army and his struggle with objection to war on religious grounds.. Josh said: "Knock off the peace'nik talk dad..<g> My generation is ready to kick butt ...we figured out why your generation messed up in Vietnam and why even grandpa's Korean war was a stalemate.. (josh went on some more and I quit listening<G>) Here's why- I want to talk to Josh about this when he is a OLD MAN. I'd just as soon have Josh go to College and grow a ponytail for the next 4 years and a dozen more in grad school..
