One of these men is my 19 year old son, and I trust his Commander in Chief and those who are over him in the military.

AAA, you pegged me as a loser the first time you ever posted to me and have ridiculed me ever since, simply because of my support of the President. You have never had any respect for me, regardless of who I am, or the validity of what I believe, and you have posted some horrible, and completely false accusations about me.

Perhaps you are the one who should try to maintain some objectivity, rid yourself of some of your self-admitted cynicism, and realize that those of us who respect and trust the President and those he has chosen for his administration are not the abject fools you believe us to be.

It is apparent that you are almost anxious to believe the negative about what is going on, rather than objectively trying to find out the truth. You assume the generals are 'screwing up' because you are a cynic. Many of us assume they are not, because we are not.

I have a whole lot at stake here........the life of my son......but I will not participate in your cynical view of the military, and your complete lack of trust in their competance and ability. The generals may not be my friends, but I do not believe that they don't give a rip about the lives of the men and women fighting in this war. I believe that in the military, the attitude shown by the men reflects the attitudes of the Commander in Chief......and whether or not you hate him because you imagine him to be a 'semi-socialist,' he is a GOOD man and a STRONG leader who loves and respects his troops, and they respect him in turn.

For whatever reason you pinged me to your post, I'm not trying to offend you.......but some things just need to be said. Now, if you'll forgive me, I need to try to get some sleep. Even though I have never been more proud in my life than I am now of my son, the pain of missing him, and concern over his safety is exhausting.

M'am I don't think you're a loser. The reason why I pinged you to my post is because you keep pinging me to yours. Which is fine, I don't mind debate and you're a nice enough lady but you should know by now when you respond to my posts that Mr. Rogers is not going to reply.

I promise I'll try to be nicer to you. I'm going to say a prayer for your son. OK?
