How come I feel shame over my nephew joining the Marines?

He's smart enough to go to college but he had to go into the Marines on July 25th and now he has to deal with those narrow minded jar heads. Now what would make him do a silly thing like that? He writes me and tells me we must fight in Iraq because the Iraqi people are going to destroy the USA. LOL!!! Can you believe someone in my family could be so stupid? Iraq did not do 9-11 and he thinks Iraq is a threat. I'm so ashamed.

Sweetheart how I wish I was your sister or sister-n-law cause speaking as a Marine mom here I would show you what we as Marine moms are made of.

Go ahead and be ashamed of your nephew cause Hun he is my family now cause ALL the Marines are brothers and I'll show him how proud a true American can be of him.. So go on setting in your lazy chair and slandering the Marines cause no one cares what you have to say anymore and your nothing but a big joke on this site anyways.............hummmmm I just wonder how proud your nephew is of an old man like you who has nothing better then to set home and make up stories.

You SHOULD be ashamed. Of yourself!

I doubt your story is true. It seems to me you are just soldier bashing, which is extremely unpatriotic and I must say you are the biggest idiot liberal I've seen in quite some time to pull this crap. I hope you're proud of yourself and prepared for the bad karma coming your way.

Iraq was a threat. You shouldn't be ashamed of him that is ridiculous.

No, Iraq did not do 9/11 but if your nephew feels that this is what he wants to do with his life you should support him.

You sound like my grandmother. Sad really.

Maybe he's not the stupid one in your family.

You really should be ashamed of yourself for posting something sooo narrow minded about your own family member. All opinions of the war aside (who started it, why we're there, WHATEVER) he's VOLUNTEERING to do something more admirable than most people (yourself probably included) will ever imagine doing or have the nerve to deal with in a lifetime. Most people (strangers to your nephew) would be honored to have a Marine, Officer, Sailor, Pilot, etc in their presence; to hear the stories of the things they've seen and accomplished. Then there's YOU; ashamed that you're even related to him. That's very, very sad.

I am proud of him, too. I think his decision to join the military is a great one. While you may disagree with the decisions of the leadership of this country, please try to keep that seperate in your mind and your heart from the men and women of the US military. They do not choose their assignments. They do not pick the battles they are sent into. But they did choose to support and defend the United States of America. And your nephew joins a very proud and honorable group of people who care enough about their country; their freedom; and the way of life their forefathers fought and died to create and maintain that they are are willing to put themselves in harm's way to ensure it "does not perish from this earth."

So please, disagree all you want with the government that involved us in Iraq. As an American that is your right. It is a right won through the blood and pain and death of the men and women who served in the past. But respect your nephew's choice and dedication.

I wish him well. May he serve honorably and return home to his loved ones safely.

In any family, somebody is going to do or say something that you do not believe in. I wouldn't be ashamed of him I would just hope and pray that he comes home in one piece. I also respect the opinion of people in my family. I don't have to agree with them.to respect them. You should be ashamed of yourself, not him.

Sounds like your more worried that your family will look at the two of you and see one guy who could hack it and one who couldn't.
You are your own person. Don't let the sideways glances of disappointment get you down. I'm sure you are the best french fry maker you can be!


Bob
I actually feel sorry for you.

And I am damn proud of your nephew. He sounds like he knows that he wants to become one of the best fighting force in the world.

Yes I can believe that someone in your family can be so stupid, have you looked in the mirror lately!

How's your voting record. Did you vote for the buffoons who took us from a budget surplus back to a deficit. War is the inevitable way to distract the intelligent portion of the public from what a mess-up our elected leaders are making. Don't blame your nephew. Blame yourself.


angela m
How dare you talk like that when all these soldiers are there trying to protect you from being killed in another event like 911 you should be very ashamed of your self and don't ever call some stupid for trying help you!!!!!

Sounds like he understands the world we live in better than you. I think you need to stop swallowing everything the liberal media pours down your throat and be proud of your nephew.

What your nephew doesn't realize is the biggest threat is right there in his own family. If anyone need be concerned it should be you. The Marine Corps is going to take that stupid kid and mold him into a fighting machine. A finely honed killer will emerge, with a mission to destroy all of those who would do harm to this fantastic land of ours. He will be skilled and proficient to kill with his bared hands, he will be able to tear your jugular vein out with just his teeth, or dig a hole in your chest with his finger nails, and tear your heart out.

I think it's important that you tell him how ashamed you are, but do it in person, and not until he's home on leave following advanced infantry training. Sleep well!

You are correct that Iraq is no threat to the US. Where did he get the idea that Iraq is going to destroy the USA? That is a stupid idea! By what means could Iraq destroy the US?

President Bush has stated that we are fighting in Iraq to guarantee freedom for the Iraqi people so they can acheive their "dreams". We went there to liberate them and now they're the enemy...something here does not compute.

However, I don't think it is shameful to join the Marines and defend your country, it just seems that your nephew has bought the propaganda and has joined for the wrong reasons...
