A war is justified if you're willing to send your son. If you're not willing to send your son, then how do you send someone else's?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's one thing to say you're for the war; it's another thing to send your kid to war - your daughter or your son.
I don't think I'm against all wars, but you'd have to have a damn good reason to send your son or daughter to fight, or to go yourself. So often, we are lied to and manipulated by our governments for their own very cynical reasons.
As a woman I can't go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else.
If war occurs, that positive adult contact in every shape is needed more than ever. It will be a matter of emotional life and death. There's not a handy one-minute way of talking to your kid about war.
If these men decided that they have to go in there and fight, I want them to send their own children and grandchildren. I want them to not send a bunch of strangers' kids in there to fight and die.
War violates the natural order of things, in which children bury their parents; in war parents bury their children.
I have already given two cousins to the war and I stand ready to sacrifice my wife's brother.
I can tell you this: If I'm ever in a position to call the shots, I'm not going to rush to send somebody else's kids into a war.
Sending our youth to war is wrong.
In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons.
