An Honorable Young Man

Mayor Daley's only son, Patrick, has enlisted in the Army, choosing to serve his country rather than pursue an undoubtedly lucrative career as a recently-minted University of Chicago MBA.

"There are many paths of service--policeman, fireman, political and the military--but it's an all-volunteer era. I've always wanted to find a way to serve...just like my grandfather and my father. Think of it. It's amazing. I get to serve my country."

Though I'm adamantly opposed to war, I admire his devotion to our country.

Wow! I'm impressed. With a father like his, he could be making the big bucks no doubt. This will surely help his future political career, but I'm still impressed.
