My little soldier

This is my son Ryan that is twelve. Ryan has recently joined the army cadets and he absolutely adores it, since around the age of five he has said he wants to be a soldier.
I don't think any mother likes the thought of their son going to war but I do believe you have to support children in their interests. I do hope that with age he may change his mind and go on to be a doctor or something but to be honest it looks very doubtful.
