You will never win support for a war by attacking one perceived as a grieving mother.

A truly grieving person does not use their grief as a political weapon.

She has given her blood for this country same as her son.

Her son did the volunteering and the fighting and the dying, not her. There's nothing the same about it. My brother spent a year over there - should my mom claim to be a veteran?

Sorry you prefer to attack her. How very noble.

I choose to defend her son's legacy from her vile dishonoring of it.

are you saying that she should be muzzled after paying the total price for freedom?

No one said that she should be "muzzled" - I said that a family member should ask her to comport herself with dignity and stop disgracing her son's memory.

And she did not pay the "total price" - her son did. This is about an American hero's memory, not his mother's undignified lust for time in front of newscameras.

In other words - be thankful you don't walk in her shoes and as soldiers are allowed for their wounds to heal, we must allow the mothers/fathers to heal their wounds without further attack.

Sorry. As an American citizen who appreciates what her son did to keep my and my family safe and free, I will continue to tell her to shut her lying mouth and have a little respect for her son.

I would also add that even a grieving mother doesn't have an excuse to hook up with the traitors of International ANSWER because she lost her son.

Unless, of course, she buys into the idea that America is the root of all evil. When she goes there, her opinions are fair game for criticism as far as I'm concerned.

I am with you. She is not grieving. She is seeking attention, attention only gotton by her son's blood. He didn't die for her right to make a fool of herself. He would die of embarassment if he saw her. She is capitalizing on his death.

And I am sure that would please the son that died so that you had the freedom to chastise his mother.

You must be young and inexperienced in losing someone. I take it you are a male with no comprehension of being a mother. Do you think any mother is glad to have her son die for a cause? Causes are ideals - death is reality.

She will mourn as she pleases no matter what you have to say about it.
