“He still wants to join the Marines though, 4 years of college will buy him time while Obama is President.”
Hey, Panthermom. Four years in college is a good idea. That will give your son opportunities to go to OCS (Office Candidate School) in Quantico. Tell him to try out for the MAW (Marine Air Wing). Better food. Prettier girls. The A-4 and F-4 Marine pilots in Nam were the best. Or 002 (intelligence field) isn’t bad either, especially if your son has an aptitude for languages.
Good luck.
We have family friends whose kids are in the Marines now as well as my brother who is a veteran, they all have told him he will be better off with the college first.
The south.
Since the North produced Ronald Reagan, and Milton Friedman, as well as Walter Williams, let’s not get into regional rivalry. We have enough problems defeating liberals, now that large parts of the South believes in the free lunch.
Reagan was born in Illinois and moved to LA in the 30’s. Friedman and Williams are good guys, but they are economic conservatives. There is more in life than money; I know how hard it is for you country club Republicans to understand.
Country club Republicans are for big government. Maybe you are one of them.
