Saddam and his Ba'athist forces made sure that these children never grew up enough to volunteer for anything.
The Lessons of Halabja
Something Mrs. Sheehan needs to think about: her son joined the Army VOLUNTARILY. There is NO DRAFT.
If she is protesting and fighting against the country her son gave his life defending - does that not seem like a dishonor to HIS beliefs and HIS wishes?
No dis-respect intended, but had she not wanted her son to fight for his country, then this should have been a family issue prior to his joining, not levarge for the liberal left and fuel to the Democrats Fire.
I so applaud the efforts of Mrs, Johns, and would travel to Texas on 8-27 if there was any way possible.
As a mother of a son headed to the Army Rangers in two years, and the 'adopted' mom of a son in basic now, and another at West Point - I do not like the idea of my children giving their lives either - but out of respect for God, our country, our President, and the WISHES of these boys - I stand WITH them - not protest against them.
May God Bless all of our Troops, bring them home safely, and give them the strength to accomplish what President Bush has asked them to do.
Sorry Sheehan - don't mess with this Army mom.
Mrs. Johns - all my prayers and heartfelt support to you! JK
