Staff Sergeant
Jason Rivera, 26, a Marine recruiter in Pittsburgh,
went to the home of a high school
student who had expressed interest in joining the
Marine Reserve to talk to his parents.
It was
a large home in a well-to-do suburb north of the city.
Two American flags adorned the yard.
The prospect's mom greeted him wearing an American flag
T-shirt.
"I want you to know we support you,"
the prospect's mother gushed.
But
Sergeant
Rivera soon reached the limits of her support.
"MILITARY SERVICE ISN'T FOR OUR SON.
IT ISN'T FOR OUR KIND OF PEOPLE,"
SHE TOLD
SERGEANT
RIVERA.
WHY IS IT WEALTHY AMERICANS
DO NOT FEEL THEY ARE
IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR AMERICA? |
