Glad to know you support military families with all of your heart and soul.

Right in one. Blue Star mom wanting to be there for her son and you are saying she knows the rule book. Not the most compassionate position. It may not be fair, but then again, an expectant father would expect the same consideration.

Its a funny thing about rules and ruling. You make a hard rule and someone always comes up with the exception that makes you look like an ass. Then you bend the rule and then you get tested with one exception after another until you have had enough. Ultimately you write some rules you can actually enforce that have appropriate exceptions noted and communicated.
