sorry - forgot the barf alert
These type people are self-absorbed, brain dead fools.
“Of course, it is too much to expect that George Herbert Walker Bush would have any recollection of that event, or that he would care that his son is putting my son, and hundreds of thousands like him, in harm’s way.”
Lady, your son VOLUNTERED, he was not drafted. God bless him.
Her son is an adult - 23. Did someone force him to join the Marines?
Strange that she has time to criticize the President, his father, the war but she can’t include her son’s name.
I cannot think of one good reason for the word "universal" to be in that sentence.
God bless her son. If he survived all of this and grew up to become a Marine he must be one heck of a guy.
I have the moral authority to say this woman is an idiot.
Another irony this moron can add to her bag of misery is that her son obviously rejects her worldview and has ideas of his own.
She blames only Republicans for the situation our country is facing. What she neglects to mention is that it was Bill Clinton that enabled 9/11 which is what has brought us to this point. He was more interested in looking out for his own selfish interests as POTUS than he was in watching out for this wonderful country. Dare to guess which side she will again vote for in 2008?
Yes, we're all dumb-dumbs with the empathic capacity of daffodils and need to be reminded that it isn't easy for mothers to send their children to war. Thank you.
This lady is full of crap. The terrorists are the reason why this war is going on in the first place, and does she blame them? No, she blames the President. She blames the President for defending us rather than the terrorists for attacking us. The reason why her son is over there is because he is fighting to eradicate terrorists and keep everyone, including his loony leftist mother, safe from further attacks. If you wanna surrender and give up, fine Mary-Jo, but when the terrorists come back and attack again, you won’t have the POTUS to blame because it wasn’t him who wanted to cut and run. He wanted to get rid of our enemies before they got rid of you. Instead of complaining about the war that was started by our enemies not our President, perhaps she should pray that her son and the military are kept safe in their duties and are able to return home after completing their mission.
“Little did I ever suspect that any child of mine would be a pawn in a senseless conflict in that distant land.”
He is not a pawn, but a volunteer. He knows what he is doing...she apparently is clueless..and by the way, his sacrifice is postponing the inevitable clash between civilizations—I hope she remembers her verse when confronted by Islam..
Why is she calling her own child a senseless pawn - in public no less?
She works for...are you ready?... the Department of Homeland Security!
Wonder if there’s a support group for Marines and soldiers with embarrassing parents.
Hey Mary-Jo Cooney...when did your son join the Marines? Before or after 9-11-2001. My bet is after given he is 23 now unless he enlisted right at 18 years old.
If he joined AFTER 9-11 he knew what he was getting into.
If he joined BEFORE then he has already served his initial recruitment and has probably reenlisted...meaning he knows what he’s getting into.
Either way your son is a 23 year old Marine and can make his own choices. Be proud of your Marine and don’t ruin his choice by going all Cindy Sheehan before he even leaves for deployment.
I’ll pray for her son, just as I pray for my brother, and for the friends who aren’t ever coming home again.
