| Being a veteran of the US Army, a parent and now a grandparent, I understand what your parents are thinking. I'm am not a fan of what this currrent administration has been doing to our military and specifically our National Guard units. It's now not whether you will see combat but when. So I understand your parents and I feel the same when it comes to my sons and daughter and even my 8 grandchildren. I would hope they stay in school, maybe college and find employment elsewhere.
Thirty years ago I steered alot of young men from the inner-city into the military and it worked for them. I honestly don't think the military is the place to be today. You will find differing opinions for sure. But I see things differently as a parent.
