Actually, I thought of that while watching my current boyfriend try and hash out his thoughts on the war. He recently (like last summer) went on inactive duty from the Army Reserve. He went through infantry basic and officer training, and feels a huge connection to his boys that are still on active duty. And as much as he believes in military action, the pain he feels by knowing that his boys are in danger keeps him on the fence. The quiver in his voice when he says "Michelle, we are going to war" scares the living daylights out of me. I feel he understands the weight of that statement far more than I ever will (or ever hope to, actually). How can I really support something that scares *him* like that??? I don't know where the threshold is, but at what point can I honestly look at him and say, "it's ok, your boys are going to die for a good cause?" I am not convinced it has been reached.
