I just found out today that my friends brother died 2 months ago in Iraq. We were talking today and I was telling him how I was going into the Marines. As I was talking to him I was seeing if he would be the type to think about the Marines. Then he told me the reason he moved here (VA) was because his brother had died 2 months ago in Iraq and his parents were pushing him to go into the Marines. I did not want to push the subject much further. I told him I was very sorry for him and then he changed the subject.

his parents were pushing him to become a Marine? How odd. Were his parents Marines?

Most parents I ever knew don't WANT thier children in the Corps, especially during a time of war.

I'm not sure, he did say they were military.
