Re: "Come mothers and fathers throughout the land, and don't criticize what you can't understand..."

I'm late to the party. Sorry.

My Grandmother was born in 1920's Boston, which was a very, very conservative place back in the day (ever heard the phrase 'Banned in Boston'?). Her parents divorced when she was small and according to her that made her illegitimate. She actually tried to hide it from Grandad. I never understood it.

My father is the most Democratic Democrat who ever Democrated, was born in Massachusetts, and spent his career as a squid in the Navy. I'm a run-of-the-mill Republican, a Virginian, and put in my five years as a grunt in the Army. We don't fight very often, but we can play up our differences if we want. The only thing he's conservative about is the length of his daughter's (me) dresses.

I also have an uncle who not very subtly let me know that he doesn't approve of Catholicism.

career as a squid in the Navy

I'm very curious as to the meaning of "squid" in this context. I picture a giant squid like in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea sitting on the deck of a aircraft carrier.

There is a traditional rivalry between the U.S. Navy and Army. We have a football game every year, and the services will typically trash-talk each other. It's a friendly rivalry, but 'squid' is what the Army calls sailors. The Navy calls soldiers 'grunts.' This extends to the other services too. Marines are 'jugheads' and the Air Force is the Chair Force.

This strictly between the services. Civilians do not get involved in this rivalry.
