My wife had been in the service with the US Navy for about 5 years before we ever met and she has wanted to re-join for some time now. Well, she's been gathering information and talking about it for months and finally seized the opportunity to join the Naval reserves. That's right! Last Tuesday, Wendy re-joined the Navy and that makes me a proud husband to a member of our nation's military. Although I am certainly against violence as a means to an end, I definately understand the need to protect the things we feel need protecting (family, country, beliefs/values, etc.) You tell me... what's the alternative when a person has a gun pointed at you? Are you the type that shoots first and asks later? What if a person simply has a gun on them? Do you feel the need to also have a gun? What if they look a certain way or behave a certain way that offends you or makes you wary? Security... a basic need and desire of all living things.
