i know lots of people this will offend and some would rise to throwing punches at least over the content, including marine friends, but tell us where this ain't the truth;
Neither of my sons are Marines, and if any of them were, I would be
embarrassed and ashamed to tell you. But many people have sons who are
Marines—and are proud of it. I know this because of all the bumper
stickers I have seen that read: “My Son Is a Marine.” Sometimes there is
even another bumper sticker along side of it that reads: “I ♥ My
Marine.”
The only thing worse than this is having a daughter who is a Marine.
Is having a son who is a Marine something to be proud of? Perhaps it was true at one time. It certainly isn’t true now.
What do people think when they see these “My Son Is a Marine” bumper
stickers? No doubt most people think that it must be a great thing to
have a son who is a Marine. The Marine Corps is the most “manly” branch
of the military, is it not? Don’t the Marines defend our freedoms,
protect us from terrorists, keep us from having to speak German,
Japanese, Vietnamese, or Arabic, and fight “over there” so we don’t have
to fight “over here”?
I don’t think any of these things. I think of what the bumper sticker really means.
If the parents of Marines put honest bumper stickers on their cars, perhaps they would say things like the following.........https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/12/laurence-m-vance/my-son-is-a-marine/
