Subject: No one is saying that 18 year olds always make the greatest choices or think beyond me, Kathy. The point was made that what we choose to do impacts others. Is it fair, does it mean we always have to put others needs in front of our own? No. It is just a comment on life and lessons we all learn and grow from. Theresa I agree that it's sad that the freedoms fought for do not seem to extend to their children. However, if you were out there protesting something that affected the hospital your Dad worked at and let's say your protests had an impact on a huge grant the hospital was vying for and lost because of it, I am pretty sure there would be repercussions, don't you think? They might be subtle ones but I bet they would be there.
In reply to: Texasbrat 's message, "To me Amanda sleeping w/Jeremy is more about her rebellion against Dad & his ultimatum to not see Jeremy anymore. And for Jeremy is was the urgency that he was leaving for boot camp. Denise handled the situation very well. Thanx, Jubellant for mentioning that someone missed some warning signs -- didn't Denise say that Jeremy had been abusing her for 6 months & she said it right after Frank deployed?" on 11:47:26 07/19/07 Thu

[> [> [> Actually in the civilian world it would be illegal for my father to have any career repercussions from anything that I do. It's the law that people in the work place be judged on their own merits alone regardless of family actions. And in the military it doesn't seem like anything anyone says or does changes anything that they do. I don't see how there are repercussions on military operations if she says the troops should come home. All Michael told her was that it went against what HE stands for, and that it might make the other wives whose husbands are gone not believe him. He made it all about him instead of about what Amanda believed. -- Theresa, 18:48:54 07/19/07 Thu [1]

[> [> [> [> It's illegal to penalize the whistleblower too and we all know it happens. It would not be overt but if someone really want to create repercussions tthere are very subtle ways it could be done. Michael wasn't making it all about him. He was stating that the choices his daughter made impacted his ability to carry out his JOB effectively.. -- Jubellant, 01:35:25 07/20/07 Fri [1]

[> [> [> [> [> Then he's lousy at his job if something a teenager says effects his abilities. I wonder how many people in the actual military feel like Amanda does and just don't have the freedom to say so. They're too busy protecting our freedom to have any of their own. -- Theresa, 08:31:34 07/20/07 Fri [1]
