Her son joined the military to fight terrorism and do his part to serve his country. He is deploying to Iraq on 9/11/08. Grow up.
They "grow up" young up in Alaska. Track Palin, joined the US Army on September 11, 2007; and it is not clear by "news" accounts if he was even 18 when he joined. He is reported to be 18 years old now, almost a year after enlisting.
And now Sarah Palin's daughter is pregnant at 17. I don't know why there are so many people here who are wringing their hands over this news. The Palin's statement on this "BREAKING NEWS" tells us what kind of family the Palins are:
"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us."
"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support."
"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."
Briston Palin chose not to have her baby murdered and sucked out of her uterus. The Palins raised a good daughter.
