As long as the kid wasn't silly enough to fawn over the finally booted Liz Dole, he's okey dokey with me.
Would have been more useful to send the kid to math class.
"If you start with 150,000 American troops and only 146,000 return alive, how many are returned in coffins as combat dead?"
Or for a bit older kids, "What are the percentage chances your father will be flown home in a prone position?"
Then the kid gets a good social and math education all in one bite.
there is no doubt she will be terminated from the cumberland county school system, home of ft. bragg and pope afb with approx 15k troops assigned and retiree's too numerous to mention adding to the county tax coffers her days are indeed numbered, she is a 27 year veteran teacher but believe you me an exit strategy is being formulated as we speak.
