Anti-War judge PROHIBITS foster teen from joining the Marines.

[75th]

More like being fired for letting her personal beliefs interfere with her job.

Thatll work too, I guess.

how would you feel if it was YOUR 17 year old son?

I would want my son to follow whatever path he wanted to in his life.

I wouldnt treat him any differently if he was gay, why would I treat him any differently if he made a decision to serve his country?

The parents said they supported him. The judge decided differently based on her personal views.

People accept this abuse of power but we want to send someone to rehab for calling someone a fag or lose their job for calling someone a nappy-headed ho or ruin his career for saying nigger.

Are you fucking kidding me? She is supposed to uphold the law. Not dispense verdicts based on her personal beliefs.

She should definitely lose her job.

No, but that doesnt make it any less true.

I guess I get it from my parents, who didnt serve in the military, but fully supported my decision to do so.

No offense but I wouldnt want to be in your hypothetical 17 year old son's shoes if you did whatever you could to prohibit him from doing what he wants with his life.

75th, the kid is a minor...he isn;t allowed to make his own decisions about the military yet. you have to set a cut off somewhere or else youd have like 10 year olds enlisting because they dont know any better. Usually parental permission suffices, but in this case the kid doesnt have his real parents. Therefore the judge has to act as a stand-in...so it's no different than if his parents told him he couldn't join. some parents will say yes, some say no, and as such the judge can go either way too. let him wait a year

no offense taken.

but.....when you have children, it changes your view points in ways you don't think possible. ask a parent with a 17 year old boy. no offense.

Its presumptious to think we (or the judge) know the kid better than the foster parents who raised him.

If they fully support him, who is the judge to say otherwise?

See my above post.

Do you have a 17 year old son? Just because you dont think joining the military is honorable doesnt mean millions of other parents would agree.
