Well, to be perfectly honest with you, Coop, those on this forum who degrade this mission in Iraq and the military efforts there as meaningless, DO hurt those of us who have sons and husbands there.

I completely agree with you. Perhaps you misunderstood my above comment?? I don't have a family member over there (though I do have some friends), so I personally don't need an apology. But you and other families deserve one.

No, I knew what you meant about not needing an apology. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I know of others who feel the same as I do about the mission bashing on this forum, though. It's tough enough when your little boy's (or husband's, or daughter's) life is in danger in this noble cause, to have the left bash the war effort, but when it comes from 'conservatives' it somehow hurts more.

But then again, to them, I'm an empty headed, brainwashed Bushbot, so I guess they are no more my colleagues than those on the left, are they?
