A true caring mother would never, ever consider crippling her son.
If she really didn't want him to go, and he didn't want to go, she should help him, give him strength, to face a Mohammed Ali, and I'm talking about the Boxer, the holy war one is on the other side.
So, mommy, stand up with your son and face a desertion trial. Running off to Canada? Running to the hills?! What happened to honor?! What happened to Mohammed Ali?
You sign up for the army, even if you don't want to ever go to any war, there's a chance you'll get called, and if you truly don't want to go, you face the desertion trial! If you are such a victim, chances are they'll find you not-guilty.Now, if that risk is too much to bear, how about building the country as a civilian?
Good thing war journalists don't have mothers, if their's stopped them from going to war zones, other moms would never be able to tell how insane a war can be.
