"...but I support my sons," she said. "I simply want them to come home."
So do I...but you do not seem to understand the ramification's of cutting and running before the mission is complete...
How many will die if we leave now; how many American Parents, and their children, will have to die later so your children can come home now?
The time has come and gone with regard to whether we should go....we are there now...we should not leave until their mission is completed...anything short of that dishonors those who have sacrificed more than their fare share and invites disaster down the road....history has taught this lesson time and time again, if only they would listen or try to understand....
May God Bless and Protect our troops as they bring the fight to the enemies of freedom....

Either way you look at it she is slandering the good name of her son. According to her he was just using the Military as a meal ticket. Is that honorable? She is despecable.
I still believe her son knew what he was doing and died fighting for freedom. She should be proud of her son but no she claims he died for a lie, he died so Bush's friends could reap profits, he died not for America or freedom he died for Israel. Does this woman have any sense of decency?

I wouldn't tell that to a woman you were romancing. Don't plasma guns kill aliens or something?
And if that is the case, perhaps you can save us from Tom Cruise's evil plan.

During Gulf War I, I went over to the Vandenberg AFB hospital to donate blood for the troops. The young Air Force nurse who drew my blood was complaining that she hadn't joined the AF to be in a war - she just wanted to get an education. I was appalled - my own daughter was in the Air Force at the time, and she didn't feel that way at all.
I can't imagine that during our current War on Terrorism, anyone who enlisted after we went into Iraq wouldn't know exactly what might be required of them. They are willing to put their lives on the line for freedom and democracy, and to protect us against an enemy that wants us all dead.

"I remember the anti-war activists in the 60's"
My mom was one. My step-dad? Two tour Vietnam vet. Go figure. He straightened her out though. She's been a good conservative ever since the Reagan/Carter election.

I am prayerful that this sort of attitude is rare. I'm from a military family and not one of them ever said anything like this group is spouting. It's the rare family that's NOT serving as a soldier that are jumping on this bandwagon. Unfortunately, I think it can be for all sorts of agendas. Attention, publicity, money, fame, boredom, fear. Who knows. Bottom line, though, is it ain't helping our men overseas and it ain't helping our morale here or there and it ain't productive. It's embarrassing for the soldiers and for Americans overall....

Well, like I said above, I just don't understand how that happens.
Her sons join.
And she hates the military.

Does anyone who was around in the 60's remember anti-War protesters being confronted on the street by pro-War protesters? Nope. Supporters of the military and the war did not rise up. Hence, the birth of the phrase "the silent majority".

To: trubluolyguy
While Sheehan is a mere buffoon without an alternative plan to protect this country (like her other anti-war cohorts) the real villians here are the left wing press, using this to incite the far left and drive down the Presidents popularity numbers. It's the same way they started in 1967, turning on their own President, Johnson, forcing him to not run for another term. I was there. I served in the USAF 1968-72 and watched the specticle in SF and other major cities. The press egged them on the whole time and all of the correspondants who reported the news from then til now cut their teeth on the story. It gave us this reputation that we can be outwaited by an enemy and slowly bled until we lose all resolve . It makes me want to puke. I think of all of the names that honor our history...Bunker Hill, Gettysburg, San Juan hill, Argonne Forest, Pearl Harbor, Midway,Guadal Canal, Tarawa, Omaha Beach, Malmedy, Anzio, Chosan Resavoir, Khe San, Hue, 73 Eastings and Fallujah... and contrast that with Haight Ashbury, Woodstock, the NY Times, Time magazine, LA Times, SF Chronicle...ad nauseum. These people don't even realize that we lost more people in the twin towers than we' ve lost since. Patience people, we're in this for the long haul or we will be defeated.

They are that plus remarkably immature and naive.

You mean to tell me that any mommy in the world can't walk up to the leader of the flippin' free world and tell him how to direct the nation? I suppose you're going to tell me that we aren't all individually briefed by the pentagon every morning with our Rice Krispies....And I have more bad news: It's not Karl Rove stealing one sock out of your dryer every day. It's ALIENS!
So THERE!
