DarkSyde (DS): Your son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was deployed to Iraq in the spring of 2004. When and why did Casey join the military? What did you think about his decision?
Cindy Sheehan (CS): Casey joined the Army in May of 2000. I was devastated. He was 21, he didn't discuss it with us.
DS: Devastated? Why?
CS: Because he would be leaving home ... we are not a military family and we really didn't understand his enlistment.
Why does this smack of, "I told him so!" Like, seriously, if she had died at the same time he did and they were in line to to Golden Gate, would her words to him be "I told you so, but you wouldn't listen!"
If she was so opposed to him joining, even thoug he chose to join, how the hell can she blame Bush for what happened? If she blames ANYONE but the jerks who actually did the killing, she sounds like she should be blaming her son. "Why'd he have to go and die like that? How selfish!" Seriously though, it was his choice, and she keeps acting like he was duped by a man she feels has almost no intelligence. Is she implying that her son is much less intelligent than GWB in her opinion, and unable to choose his own career because he just wasn't smart enough?
When did he re-enlist (or reup)?
