People are more selfish these days; especially women, who were once selfless long ago.

What a load of crap! Moron.
I think grieving is fine, but making a tee shirt that says the president killed her son and going to the firehouse crosses the line from grieving into political action. She believes she has the moral right because she lost the son but she is using her son as a political football. Do you really believe she was voting for president Bush in January before her son died? (This smacks of Nick Berg's dad).
One other thought, as a member of the 16th generation of an American Military family who has had a member in every war since the French and Indian War, I have to say the reason I am here is that we discovered early that Staff Corps, Medicine, Electronics, Mechanics and Logistics are relatively safe places to contribute without getting your head blown off.
Perhaps I wouldn't be here if my grandfathers thought working up close and personal with explosives was the best job for them. Of course, I do not blame the president for my good fortune or my ancestors' ability not to get their heads blown off. Perhaps I should. But I have always believed that a soldier who picks that line of work knows the risk before he introduces himself to a particular piece of ordinance.
Just a thought.
