Send? No. If he wanted to volunteer - I would support him.
How about this - could we vote in people in government interested in tightening up the border and using regulation to suppress the enemy? I would rather do that first with regards to our soil. Makes it hard to want to fight on our soil when our laws (and enforcement of laws) facilitate their attack on us.
This is a very interesting question. But I think we need a lie detector test first.
I don't have a son. My three nephews are all toddlers. My brother has served and he is done with military life.
I have couple of Marine friends (combat Marines) are still willing to go. I will never understand this kind of mentality.
I voted no, though only for the no. The rest, like all polls on the site, was too narrow and specific to be a reasonable thing to add to a poll with only 3 options.
I would not fight myself no. I have no desire to see combat. And I would never send anyone else. That's not my business.
I am a veteran and was with other veterans and not veterans the other day having coffee. This came up. No one said that under current leadership they would send a son to war or even want them to join military to be ordered to war. Among the points discussed was by plan we left leaving a vacuum for ISIS to move into. Few thought that any leader at top were that shocked they did. Purely a political decision.
Would I let my son or daughter go and fight Isis. NO, sense they are only 8 years and 9 months. But when they are over 18 I don't really have a say, do I.

Not that I disagree with your saying NO, I am on your side there, and BTW - thank you for your service, however.....
"The Bush Administration later sought an agreement with the Iraqi government, and in 2008 George W. Bush signed the U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement. It included a deadline of 31 December 2011, before which "all the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory".[12][13][14] The last U.S. troops left Iraq on 18 December 2011, in accordance with this agreement.[1][13][12] US Forces ultimately returned to Iraq in the summer of 2014."
You seem to think people send their sons and daughters off to join the military, sorry that is not how it works they Joined the military and as such do as they are told.
It's not what I think, it's just how the question was phrased.
I took it to mean, would Mom and Dad be OK with their sons or daughters choosing to go fight
