I'm sorry too, but I'm getting really, really sick of victims families becoming overnight experts. Like the 9-11 families trying to dictate US policy. It's stupid. What does this woman know about war, Iraq, the Pres, or anything else? I served in Bosnia, and my Mom couldn't even find it on a map.
My mother was the same when I went to Vietnam. She screamed at me for joining the Army. You will go to Vietnam and come back dead. I thanked her for all the support and walked out.
Thank you for your service to our country. Thanks for keeping us safe. "Proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free, and I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me."
Thank you.
I do not disagree with your point, but I want to make one quick point about the way you referred to "the 9-11 families." That phrasing makes it sound as if all of the families of victims of 9-11 were united in anything and, particularly, were united behind the actions of people like "the Jersey girls." That is not true.
What is true is that, within the incredibly large population of 9-11 families a handful of leftists took the excuse to push their own political agenda. They also dragged along some naive and bitter people looking for someone, anyone, to lash out at over their pain. I'm sure there were also some at the other extreme politically who also wanted to find a soapbox and get their views heard. The difference, as in Cindy Sheehan's case, is that the MSM have fixated on and promoted the "hate America first" crowd, primarily because it advances their "hate America first" agenda.
I truly feel sorry for Cindy Sheehan, not only for the loss of her son but for the sad, pathetic fantasy life she has now been dragged into by unscrupulous agents of hate. She is a victim many times over here and perhaps the worst damage is being done to her by her so called friends in the "anti-war" crowd and the media.
I'm really really sick of commies like Cindy Sheehan besmerching the good name of my family members who are serving in Iraq.
Ain't that the truth----my Mom was just happy when I was in the Marine Corp----she didn't even have a map, never understood where I was, just told me to try to do a good job.
