There was a young man sitting at the window looking out on a dreary day. Sitting in his big white house, he looked out into the distant, seeming lost in thought. The door opened and his Uncle walked in the room. He saw the young man sitting at the window and wondered what he was thinking about.
He walked up and asked, “what’s on your mind?”
The young man turned away from the foggy glass window and looked up. He said, ” I was thinking about what I wanted for Christmas.”
The Uncle asked him “what would you like this year” as he sat on a chair next to the young man.
“I would like war,” said the young man.
“War. Well, we have had that for the last eight years and we were thinking about something different for Christmas this year.”
The room fell silent and the young man dropped his head. The Uncle sat patiently for a while then the young man raised his head and looked his Uncle in the eye. He said, “No. I really want war for Christmas.”
The Uncle stared at him for a short while and then broke the silence again. “We were looking for some CHANGE this time for the holidays, war has gotten old and we are wrapping one up and the HOPE was to end the other soon.”
“But I want war!” said the young man as he stood from his chair.
The Uncle explained to him that the people we went to war with, weren’t even there anymore and the reason we started war all those years ago have changed. Still, the young man wanted war. The Uncle tried to explain that the people have grown tired of war and that there was no money for such a Christmas gift anymore. He told the young man that so many people were without jobs this Christmas and a lot of them have lost their homes.
The young man started to walk towards the door, he turned around and looked at his Uncle and said. “I am the chosen one and I am the one we all have been waiting for; I want war.”
The Uncle said, “I am your Uncle and I will give you what you want for Christmas. Before I grant you this gift, you must know the people want HOPE and CHANGE this season.”
The young man said, “that’s what they want, I want war.”
The Uncle took his hand and walked him out of the room. They walked out side towards a helicopter pad.
“Where are we going?” asked the young man.
“Christmas shopping,” said the Uncle.
“Where do we shop for war?” asked the young man.
“West Point!” said his UNCLE SAM.
