The Loss of a Son to Oxycontin
"For it is impossible for a man to put forward fair and honest views about our affairs if he has not, like everyone else, children whose lives may be at stake"
-Aspasia, ancient Greece
Why do we send young boys to fight for us??
I suppose the young boys are more vulnerable and easily influenced to fight wars they don't even understand... As my son was vulnerable to outside influence. I think about the pain and anguish their families are going through. I imagine it drives them crazy knowing their sons died in the horrors of war.
I (a mother) would have gone to war and tried to destroy those that were responsible for the deaths in NYC on 9-11.
But that is not the war we are sending our precious sons into.
