        @USATODAY That's just sad for the boy. Why would any parent sign up I be away from their kids? No good reason. Not WAR, certainly.

        @freddinovo I'm not against the military person, but strongly feel parents should not enlist. 1st responsibility is to ones children.

        @laura_garvock 1st responsibility like providing for them. I don't know this family but I'm guessing they wish they could be home more too.

        @freddinovo Sad, also that so few jobs, parents feel they have to 'provide' this way. sentimental pix glorify life in the military.

        @laura_garvock videos/pics like this don't glorify military life, they do the opposite showing how tough it is to be away from loved ones.
