Reply #15: Be there to talk to him when he needs it.

Help him to find what he wants to do, and then help him try to achieve it.

If he should join the military, tell him you love him, you are very proud of him, and you support him in his choices.

If he should not join the military, but find something else, tell him you love him, you are very proud of him, and you support him in his choices.

I'm retired military. Most military men and women, even those who go to war, never do anything like what may have happened in that video.

If you have given him a good solid since of ethics, of what is right and wrong, he will do fine. That doesn't mean he won't make mistakes, everyone does, it just means he can face his mistakes and move past them.
