I agree with much of what each of you say. Most of us carry forward the ideals of America as it once was. Now, we're mislead at every step by a government no longer representing us, and in fact, a government so corrupt I don't even recognize it anymore. All the while a manipulating media is jerking us around while omitting reality except as they deem it useful for their purpose. I feel for this young man because the adults in this country haven't stood together and said ENOUGH. It's tough applying the old rules in this altered universe. The old rules of duty and responsibility need to apply for our own security because you can't have your military deserting but this kid's caught up in something not of his making. We've let him down.
