"When my son was there (in Iraq) I was asking the questions he had but couldn't ask." (Vicky Monk)

Vicky doesn't mind lying about her son's feeling about serving does she?

Wow, am I glad that you posted that article!!!!!

This little tidbit struck me. In the face. "Her attitudes on war were shaped in high school, when she thumbed through a Life magazine and opened to a spread on the My Lai massacre in Vietnam."

Why, you ask? (OK, you didn't, but I'm going to tell you anyway ; )

It struck me because I was shaped by the very same experience. I opened the Life Magazine myself. I wasn't in high school, though, I was 12.

I remember the evening very, very, vividly. Because I could not, nor could my mother, quell my tears or anger.

How, then, did I end up adamantly on the other side of the fence from this woman?

Perhaps, it was because I was guided to develop some critical thinking skills an using a little logic on the way to Oz, got a brain.

Neither does Mother Moonbat. She never mentions that her "son" was a 24 year old ADULT Man! She never mentions that he enlisted, reached the end of his enlistment, re-enlisted and VOLUNTEERED for a dangerous rescue mission apart from the mechanics job he held. That makes the man a hero, in this aging Veterans mind. It makes Mother Moonbat just another left-winged moron who doesn't mind dancing on her hero son's grave to grab attention all to herself.
