 I'm not a war monger, but you seem to be Neville Chamberlain.

Tell you what Pete, lets send your children to war this time.  I have already sent my son to war twice.  The first time he came back to us severely damaged (double concussion, wouldn't let him come home for a month until his eyes start focusing) but better than four of his buddies who did not come back. One of his buddies died right next to him and the Iraqi turncoat turned the AK on my son but had run out of bullets so my son shot him ten times with his pistol.  The second time he came back in fairly good shape even though his platoon were bodyguards to the US Marine Colonel of their battalion and driving him all over western Iraq for a year trying to keep a civil war from starting.

My son is now 41 and a noncommisioned officer (corporal).  He spent 8 years in the Corps (4 active, 4 reserve) and is subject to callup until he is 46. He figures that he will be an instructor if he gets called up but we never expected him to get sent to 100 yards away from Syria and constantly fighting gun and mortar battles with them from Iraq.  To this day he cannot go to a fireworks display and it has been 18 years.
