Tom, a question for you from my sons who are 7 and 6:)

Posted by Brenda/qmih on 10/5/2005, 17:11:57
Everyone is getting in on this:)
They saw me reading Commando's and saw your "party outfit" picture also....wanted to know who you were so I started explaining and bada bing bada boom...they asked if they could ask you something....

so,they would like me to ask you:

1) what is log PT

2) what was it like to be in the war

3) (sorry about this one) Why did you do war with your friends (I think they are referring to Iraq/ although they answered this one themselves, see note below) they may be asking about training...they are looking at the picture in "Commandos" of the logs/mud....

If you can't answer any of these it's okay...but if there is anything you can say to them, that would be cool......

NOTE: I wanted you to know that I took the same stance as you on giving them guns/war toys...etc...and the same thing happened to me....one day they both walked up and starting "shooting" me with there fingers:( So I haven't hard balled it since then, but I haven't glorified it either....when they came to me just now and asked me about you I started telling them soem of the things you had taught me and what was discussed on the bb....Which lead us into a discussion about people dying in the wars....(keep in mind they are 7 and 6:) and they asked me if you had had to kill anyone....so after a brief mind struggle on my part I said "yes, do you know why?" and my oldest son said "OH YEAH, he had to kill someone so we could have freedom" See even my 7 year old appreciates what you do/did.....Thank you once again:)
Brenda
