I see a certain irony, in that your father apparently brought you up in a manner that caused you to become the kind of person you are, with the values you apparently have, but is now telling you to act in a way that is contrary to all that.
You might want to explain to him that if America is the kind of country where the wealthy people feel entitled to send only the poor people off to war... then there really is no difference between America, and the Islamofacists... where the Religious Bosses hide safely in their caves, and preach to the 'Lowly Muslim Masses' that it is *their* children who should strap on suicide belts and become martyrs... while most of the sons of the Religious Bosses are either going to private schools in the West, or living as a protected, sheltered aristocracy in some country like Egypt, or Saudi Arabia, where they can indulge their more perverse sexual proclivities out of sight of the 'Muslim Masses'.
