I haven't read all 179 posts yet. But has anyone asked what kind of "mother" would leave her child parentless to go to war?

This poor kid has bigger problems than his mean teacher.

Your an embaressment to FR. That mother is fighting so you can sit your fat butt on a computer judging her from the safety of your home.

How about we ask why YOU aren't in Iraq fighting?

You seem to be suffering from a delusion in which you think military personnel can disregard lawful orders.

The child's mother, being a member of the Army, received orders to Iraq.

And you think that she shouldn't have gone.

One who wants to be employed and was left without a father for her child. You DISGUST me. You are truly the poster shild for the new FR.

How about a mother whose husband died when her child was 5 years old? How about a mother who chose to join the Armed Forces in order to better herself and take advantage of the benefits?

It's people like you who expect people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps when hard times hit and then you choose to slap them down when they do pull themselves up.

Just when I think the New FR can't get any lower.

A good one most likely. One trying to make a better life for her child. Putting "mother" in quotes like that, implying that the mother isn't a real mother, really chaps my a$$. The father is deceased, and the mother is probably doing the best she can. I guess you'd prefer the kid was growning up in poverty. (Not that a single mom on army pay provides a whole lot of income).

According to the article, his Mom is an E7, serving her country, protecting your sorry ass, and calling her son once a month. She scheduled this call during his lunch hour, to avoid causing any problems. When the call was disconnected with no explanation, she called right back. That's what kind of Mom she is. What kind of "mother" raised you? Or did she?
