How To Spot A Terrorist!
My son and his wife were at their clinic today (April 21st) and ran into a young, in his early 20s, who is being recruited by the Marines. He told them he wanted to join the military to kill the terrorists.

“Who are the terrorists?” my son asked him.

“Anyone who wears a turban,” he responded!!!


Where does this young man get his information? AND - I wish this was not a true anecdote!!!

1. That is frightening.
Both that the young man might think this is correct and that he thinks it is acceptable to tell a young child. I hope you were able to repair the damage.

2. That's truly sad
I'm sorry your son and his wife encountered this. I'm also afraid it's all too common.
