How Should We Prepare Our Children for War? |
Regardless
of where we stand on the issue of the military draft, it is the law that our
sons, and possibly soon, even our daughters, register with the Selective
Service when they turn eighteen years old.
Very few
want, or expect, a military draft to occur. But what if…
What if the time comes when we are informed our children will definitely serve in the
military? Some of us would have years to prepare, some would have only days.
My son is a young teen. One day he will have to register with the
Selective Service. It’s something I prefer not to think about. And yet, if I
knew for a fact he would be called up in a few years, how would I prepare
him for war?
