If you listen to the whole NPR segment, one of the fallen Marine's moms says something so powerful, that it shows Cindy Sheehan to be the self-sentered ideologue we all know her to be: She says she doesn't question the war her son died in because "he was a Marine, he wasn't drafted, he voluntarily enlisted. I raised my son to be strong, independent, free-thinking, stand by your decisions. And, to question him, his decision, would be to question how I raised him."

Now THERE's a mother who truly respects and loves her son.
My heart weeps for that mother and all who have lost their sons and daughters....even Mrs. Sheehan. But I grieve MORE for the loss of Casey's life, NOT her loss. Why? Because Cindy Sheehan dishonors her son by her characterization of him as being "duped," AND because SHE has become the center of this, NOT her son who has died. It may be called Camp Casey, but it's ALL Cindy! Just listen and read her comments...the photo ops, her comments about herself in future history books, etc. It's ALL about her.
