Here’s a new one…or maybe not!

I appreciate all the great replies. I have been hit with other stupid questions regarding why my son would go to a military academy, but this was a new one for me. I was unprepared for what he said but I won’t be the next time! I am going to keep all the quotes handy, some I have heard before but had forgotten about, like “SHUTUP FOOL”.

I have to agree with Jamzmom that there are a lot of people out there that know nothing about the service academies.

Bill – I did think about what he said after I calmed down. The way he said it and past history with him indicates he meant it as a slam. He implied replacing our military with negotiation and diplomacy. When it is possible I am all for attaining peace by means other than war, so I would have agreed with him if he had said it differently. My conclusion…he is a moron and I will avoid him when possible.

Zaphod – When he first asked about my screensaver I did think “okay here is comes, he’s probably ex-Navy”. I wish it had been that simple. Go Army!!! :D
