Ultimately though he is an adult. I'm not saying don't interfere; try to find a reason to be supportive.
As for the family dynamic, I am sorry about this situation. I have some appreciation for this. In my case it was the differing viewpoint about responsibility and discipline that was always a sore point (I had a rather stricter view).

Sorry you suffer the misery of different viewpoints; it can cause a lot of anxiety.
As for my son's enlistment, on Tuesday, my son and I were in a meeting with the recruiter's for more than an hour. He still has that option for now. His ship date is August--he had the opportunity to leave sooner, his father found out and pushed hard for him to go. He didn't. Then we learned (a message left on my phone that he was scheduling a meeting to ask for a release from his commitment. I sense that it was anger at his father pushing for him to leave ASAP sparked the whole thing. Originally, it was my son's idea (he did all the research) to enlist. The two of them just don't get along. I am hoping that by moving out of this house, he will be more clearheaded about his ultimate decision......
