Post #716: (to: mystery-ak)
I don't know how to start a thread, but you are more than willing to repost them.
I was speaking with my son in law, who flies for the Air Force and, coincidentally, brought Casey home to his parents. It was difficult and emotional as most times when they brought in what they referred to, in code, as, "precious cargo."
It is heartbreaking for them to hear a mom tear down the honor of her son. We, as many others have, in town, promised to stand behind them and make sure nobody ever goes after them the way the public allowed those to do during Vietnam (to include Kerry, Cindy Sheehan's hero.)
Post #722, to BushIsTheMan:
She was not a Kerry supporter initially. She was very much behind the President.
When she returned from meeting with him, she was very much behind him as was her family. It was only AFTER meeting with the Kerry camp that things started to change.
That's why you see so many letters to the editor in the Vacaville Reporter about her "being used."
They gave her and her daughter, Carly, a lot of attention and paid all their expenses throughout the United States. The other liberal groups jumped in, offering more. Obviously, she needed a lot of attention and set herself apart from all the other military families in town with whom one would only suspect she would identify.
Anyway, this explains why Cindy had not addressed this within her own town or tried to organize here but instead associated with the Berkeley "radicals."
Thanks so much for the thread...it looks good and I'll try to keep it bumped...
