Not knee jerk at all. Read my my bio...I am not by any measure a 'knee jerk' responder and my Conservative credentials are clear. But, as an INFANTRYMAN who has seen a fair share of all types of reaction to the loss of soldiers in my 24-years(1967-1991)...including Casualty Assistance duties that would make Sheehan seem sympathetic...my 'just leave her alone' attitude is well placed.
I'll save my response(s) for people like John Kerry who as an officer did far worse damage to our soldiers etc. than Sheehan can do...
Keep up the fire!

But, as an INFANTRYMAN
Well as a fromer Infantryman, I guess I am dealing with my greif for all my guys who have died the best that I can. See, all those guys are "my sons". I guess I am just having a hard time understanding a mother who waits a whole year after her son's death to completely change her tune and stage a grandstand "protest"
