The military is a career choice for many people especially when there is a family history of service. I understand 33girl's and curlyag's points.
I had planned to write something else, but I am listening to a NYC Security Briefing.
Tom Ridge just raised the threat level to orange, and NYC is increasing patrols of the harbor and bridges and the air. Quite frankly I am scared. I don't know who is right or wrong. Saddam Hussein is a bad man and a threat to world security. There are other threats out there in the world. I am afraid that this situation has the potential to escalate to a Viet Nam type war.
So the Mayor of NYC just said that we shouldn't be scared and shouldn't change our plans or the terrorists will win. I am scared. I don't have any plans, but I certainly won't be traveling in the next few weeks.
The war seems to be inevitable. I just hope that all of your friends and family will be safe. I hope the same for our men and women in the military. God Bless.
