    I taught my son to be a conscientious objector.

    I caught hell for that, especially in conversations in my very, very small town where many people sent their kinds into this meat grinder.

    I told my son he was too good for that, and some locals hate me for that. Like they thought I was saying my son was better than theirs.

    No, I just understand the system, and I’m not going to groom my kid to be chopped meat.

    You do you. That’s not beautiful to me, though.
