We were about to start rehearsals when she got called up.  A really sweet girl, I couldn’t imagine she’d be in a fighting unit.  I hadn’t imagined she’s a sniper.  

My grandsons will be going into the army in a very few years.  

The fact that our young people are fighting for us, when it should be we old people are protecting them, is unthinkable.  We were supposed to make a better world for them.  I watched my grandson’s birth and imagined him a teenager….but not a soldier.  I think of my slender granddaughtera  – singer, dancer,  gymnast….

This isn’t right!
