Well curiosity killed me so took a peek to what Petros was saying.
And you don't need to serve to be a Legion member. Those used to be the rules - served, or direct family to someone who did - but now they're expanding the rules due to the memberships literally dying off.
My dad didn't serve, but his father did - we even had a picture of when his group came through from Saint John at our Legion - and he was a Legion member for years.
As an aside, yes, there are bonds between parent and child, but the comment of "doesn't let go" is absolute bullshit. Else there wouldn't be a need for adoptive parents and kids who are LGBTQIA+ wouldn't have to fear their parents finding out about them.
And before the "you don't have kids" is thrown out, no I don't. Because 1. I refused to be a single parent and 2. turns out I could never have had kids even if I was with someone, or wanted them. Least not without spending myself and that kid into debt. Which was not an option either, and I refuse to be that selfish and that much a bitch to this idea from society that the only 'good woman' is a 'mother'. So while it's easy for some to say "just have kids", it's not that easy, and shouldn't exclude people from having opinions either.
