If it was really about alcohol, why would they essentially force her out of the "supervised" environment of the prom and have her go off alone with this 21 year old Marine who can now more easily purchase alcohol for her? <BR/><BR/>Further more, if they really wanted to make sure that he wasn't going to buy alcohol for the kids, the principle needed only to have looked that Marine in the eye and asked for his word, as a Marine, that he not do so. End of concern. Will he dishonor Corp and Country for drink? I am betting the answer is a big "Hell no!" Even if that principle has never served in the military, he would have know this.<BR/><BR/>I am not a military man myself and even I know this much. Correct me if I am wrong, but I really don't think that I am. What I do know is that if you hold a young man to a high standard and let him know that you believe he can and will achieve it, a great many of those young men, will rise to the occasion.Celibatarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131358687419105326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-7583258489143309182008-04-27T18:35:00.000-05:002008-04-27T18:35:00.000-05:00"Vir:Regarding spending the holy season in a Russi..."Vir:<BR/>Regarding spending the holy season in a Russian monestary..I am jealous.

The school evidently thought it was more important to be PC than preserve a traditional memory for many young high school girls. Shame on them. <BR/><BR/>And double-shame, may-their-hairshirts-be-infested-with camel-fleas on anyone who is EMBARRASSED to have any military show up at their holier-than-thou events.<BR/><BR/>I usually strive to do the right thing, but if I was the girl, I would have tried to find a way to sneak in my handsome hunka-hunka-burnin' love into that gymnasium and then plop ourselves smack dab in the middle of the floor, slow dancing to our hearts content. Let them try to haul my butt out of there. <BR/><BR/>Makes me wonder what would have happened if the young man was 19 years old and a Marine. I'm sure they would have tried to find a way.Mary Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107504165449607702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-58668647553606711872008-04-27T16:13:00.000-05:002008-04-27T16:13:00.000-05:00Well, then I think that the next time they need an...Well, then I think that the next time they need an expeditionary force to go to some third world cess pit--they should send the school administration.<BR/><BR/>What a bunch of Crap!

Incredible. And not far from where I grew up.<BR/><BR/>Just walked past the recruiting center in Times Square during the field trip yesterday with an 8th grade boy who is itching to join and be in Crash Crew like my husband was for his 20. He stopped for a minute and took a long, serious look. Then he looked up at me and said quietly, "you know this is the one that got bombed, right?" I nodded, and he said, "that's why I want to join. And nobody in school understands it."<BR/><BR/>Got a bit misty, I admit. "I do," I said, "and the people who will matter most to you for the rest of your life do, too." I patted him once on the shoulder. He smiled a little shy boy smile at me and went back to the other kids.<BR/><BR/>Awards at my place for you in honor of my 100th post(take the first and last, skip the chick stuff)Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016763543666450600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-25207380935741414472008-04-27T11:56:00.000-05:002008-04-27T11:56:00.000-05:00Hello all.

No, then they'd say he couldn't come because he wasn't a student. or a student at their school, or a school in their district, etc., etc. Noooo, this liberal pinko communists were sacred to death that the young warrior would show up in his Dress Blues (what Marine wouldn't!).
