"If you die in the Persian Gulf, you're serving your country; you die with dignity," said the mother of seven, who attends Holy Angels. "If a young man dies in the streets of Chicago, that's worse — you are another number, another Black kid in the morgue."
Robinson said Shomali quit college because of money troubles and bleak prospects.
"When I get depressed and I cry,
'The Persian Gulf or the streets of
Chicago . . . what choice does a
poor person have?' " said Carolyn
Robinson, whose 20-year old son Shonali Franklin is in the Navy.

"He could have stayed here in Chicago and sold dope on the streets, joined a gang and died young," she said. "But he chose not to do those things. He joined the service to get away."
CHICAGO — In a corner of the city where young men face the lure of drugs, gangs and a life of struggle, the Rev. George Clements long has preached a strategy for survival: the military.
"I've always felt this quasi-despair in this community," he said. "You have despair from infant mortality, from the narcotic wars. Now there's a much deeper one. These are people who really had no idea what they were getting into. Now they're in; there's no way of getting out."
Charles Moskos, a Northwestern University sociologist, said the military was a road of upward mobility.
But the safe haven he steered so many to is no longer safe. The road to the good life could become the path to death. And the priest fears that his flock — and other African Americans — were too accustomed to inair price in the Persian Gulf War.
Clements is pastor of Holy Angels Church, one of the nation's largest African-American Roman Catholic parishes. Of its some 4,000 members,
Although less than 13 percent of the U.S. population is African-American, they account for 21 percent of all U.S. military personnel in all branches. About a third of the Army forces in the Persian Gulf and almost half of U.S. servicewomen in the gulf are African-American.
"We are victims, just like we've been victims since slavery." Clements said. "There was an enticement for these kids to join the service. They couldn't find jobs. They were just wandering. No one ever suspected they would be caught in a shooting war.
103 have one or more loved ones in the gulf.
"The military has probably been the most equal opportunity employer in the United States," said Rep Eleonor Holmes Norton, of Washington, D.C.
Some African-American leaders call this a "poor person's war" and question whether minorities will bear responsibility appropriately large share of the casualties.
"Many young Blacks perceive that they will get a better shake in the armed forces than in their own home town," she said. "That is a comment on American society, not on the Black community." And that such a large proportion of Black youngsters . . . would rather risk war and all it implies to stay at home."
Many enlisted for the security of a job, the promise of an education and a crack at a life they'd never get at home.
At Holy Angels, that question takes on a more urgent, heartfelt tone.
Those who enlist "already have overcome a few hurdles to get in." Moskos said. "They're almost surely high school graduates, they score well on tests and show enough gumption to go into the recruiting office. These are not the bottom of the barrel."
