Today my 9 year old told his teacher he wanted to be a special forces or navy seal sniper when he grows up.

Very nice, your doing a good job.

I'm surprised she didn't call the principal on him. Congratulations though, he's dreaming big!!

Yeah their is a reason why I heard about it. Being a catholic school the Teacher responded "but Josh you would have to kill people". But he gave the right answer. " yeah but you'd be killing bad guys and that's ok". Hell I'm all for it. I'm gonna take em out this w/e with the .17 hmr and set some shots up for him. Last night wr watched enemy at the gates.

That's cool bro, although he should aim a little higher and join the Coast Guard.

My 8 year old had to write an essay at school about 3 fun things he did over the summer.

 

One of those things was exploding water bottles with his .22.

 

No problems, no issues. The police weren't called and the school wasn't evacuated. I think a lot of that stuff is contextual.

Thats about the same age my son said the same thing. 10 yrs later he missed qualifying for Recon in the Marines by 1 point! Good for your son for his aspirations and you for your support.

Good for you. Pride in America seems to be on a downward trend these days. But thanks to folks like you I sleep a little better at night.

I remember horrifying my teacher by telling her I would risk and if need be give my life to fight the Communists(Russia+China) given the chance. Nam had just ended and I was A 7th grader. School was a hotbed of Jane Fonda types.

My family all served from the Spanish American war on up.

Sadly I was the only one flying old glory this Sept - 11th.

Anyway good job.
