AWOL AT SCHOOL

My son was moved into a different class today. I feel guilty. He is happy, yet I feel bad. I feel like we have abandoned our platoon. The other kids and parents remain at battle with their red, yellow and green cards. When the shelling begins, they place their heads on the desk. My son is no longer fighting close to enemy lines, but quietly (well, I can't really say quietly) sipping chocolate milk in the safety of another class. Would the original G.I. Joe, mint in box have abandoned his friends like this? Would G.I. Joe have fought to have his son moved into a more pleasant class or told him to take it, a little yelling and hard work will make you stronger? I do believe original G.I. Joe would have remained behind with his troops. But, I never did like G.I. Joe, I was always more partial to Ken.
