matriot

A matriot is a woman who, down through the ages, has offered up the children she bore, fed, taught, raised and cared for to old men to send off to war to kill and be killed. She is powerless to keep it from happening unless her children also refuse to perpetuate the insanity.

"I'm no matriot,. You are too young, Tomas. I do not give you my blessing for such an evil thing,"
