"they seem to think that only mothers are allowed to say anything about the soldiers going to war"
I know it is a waste of time to bring up logic with the left. But aren't they the same people who say that men cannot have a say in women's reproductive right--because they are men, and don't face the decisions?
By that same reasoning, anybody who isn't eligble for combat should have to keep their yaps shut about war. Even self-sainted mothers.
Now they are talking to some (young) girl about being drafted into this war and that is why she is against the war
