Why ??

Recently, my boyfriend, Kevin, and I went to his Dad's work at Napa to get something for his car.
While we were there this old man was in there and Kevin's dad was bragging about how Kevin wants to go into the Military. The old man overheard this and started telling Kevin that he should not go into the Military. He went on and on about how bad it was and it is only for drop outs and people who have nothing going for them in life.

This seriously upset Kevin, and me as well. Even if someone does not like the Military, you should never discourage someone for joining. I just wish people would keep in mind that the only reason they are allowed to say how much they hate our military and so on, is because of all the fighting our military has done for this country to make it free. Without the men and women of our Military fighting for us everyday, we would not live in a free country and none of those people would be allowed to say those things.
