O'Donnell: "Here I am, this peace-loving, anti-war mom, who has spent all my time going, "let's get sensible gun laws, and let's not go to war, there are other ways," and this is what - since he's been a little baby - his interest is... I thought it would wane as he got older? It's not waning... I try to show him documentaries about the horrors of war... and it doesn't change that innate thing. That's where his interest lies."
Interviewer: "Well that's his path, and he can go down that path. I think, ya know, some of the things about the military are some of the most beautiful things about community and camaraderie and standing up for a friend and giving your life for a friend...
Perhaps your child will be one of the ones who rethinks the military, and it becomes a service organization. There's nothing wrong with the military in terms of a police force protecting us, ya know? I think we all have a right to live in a somewhat reasonably safe societal structure. Um... But if we would - again, I don't wanna be "60s" about this, but,
use it as a service force - drop love, and not bombs, and see the power of that."O'Donnell: "Right."
Interviewer: "Maybe your son can be one..."O'Donnell: "Yeah, it's all the way that you think about it, you're totally right."[/blockquote]
No Rosie. He's totally 100% f**king wrong.
