If I were once again in the military, I would be ashamed if my parents acted like this.
How long will their big dig project last until it fills with water and caves in?
Figures.
And what, precisely, does a group of pacifistic hippies know about "major battles" and "grave risk"?
The idea that some snuffy's mommy knows more about current operations than snuffy's CO does is ridiculous. Ree-g*ddamn-diculous.
I will never understand why these kooks are taken seriously by so many people.
Where's that "Oh Gheezzz Not This Shite Again" pic when ya need it?
Not meaning you kattracks, just those igits in the article.
The signs look like the Vietnam era protests and some of the groups on their links page have roots from the old protest movements.

They seem to forget that not all US Military Deaths were combat, but rather accidents that could happen here in their home bases. The inflated number of Iraqi deaths some how discount those under their own Government and those of the bad guys killing their own.
What do these IDIOTS think about their portests only giving hope to the bad guys and prolonging the fighting????
God Bless the men and women in uniform and thank them for the hardships they are going through.
Massholes

Due to being a transplanted Brit, I currently have a son in the LaNG in Fallujah and a daughter just completed her training and is due to serve in Basrah with the British TAVR(NG).
Prior to their departures, we sat down and discussed their fears,worries and expectations. Many of which I had experienced in my 24 yr service in the Army.
I would never be so arrogant as to presume their motivations

This story is like the anti-gun tales one gets when ever someone goes postal...it focuses on a few activists and fails to represent the majority.
I am proud of my children,proud of their service and proud of the two countries they represent and revel in their successes.
It is the difference between night and day,these 10 families hate their own children,hate their service,hate their country and wish them failure.
"The Massachusetts-based Military Families Speak Out, formed in Nov. 2002, describes itself as an organization of people who oppose the war in Iraq."
IOW, if they have even one member who has a family member in the military, they feel entitled to use that name.
"The families named in the press release all have sons, husbands or brothers serving in the U.S. military."
Must be all of JFK's relatives.
