I previously saw her as a grieving mother, but no more. She is first and foremost an anti-war activist. She is free to say whatever she wants, but she should not shroud it under the guise of a grieving mother.

Certainly I think that she was Liberal and anti-war long before her son was killed. But from the looks and sounds of her, she seems brainwashed (imho). And the bigger issue is what the anti-war groups have been putting into her head and prompting her to do.

I think so too. and if she was vocal about it, she was probably humiliated at her son's reinlisting. grief, mixed with the humiliation, could be pretty powerful. now she wants to "show them all" how wrong they (and Casey) are about the war.
