In one essay, Galleymore asked for others to appreciate that the soldiers are in a dilemma, "caught in a military culture that encourages the numbing of most emotions but anger. Whip up enough anger in young men emotionally isolated, denied friends, family, lovers, even civilians clothes, physically exhaust them, nourish them inadequately, expose them to extreme temperatures and violent behavior, confine them to base and portray everyone else as murderous and you create impossible stress."

What IS she smoking? Every word she's said here is a window into her liberal preconcieved notions about the military, which have no basis in reality.

A while back there were some pictures floating around showing soldiers cradling Iraqi babies, helping paint schools, etc.

Someone ought to e-mail those pictures to her.

Yes, and the next paragraph says,"Nick told his mother that wasn't his experience. She doesn't know how they'll get along when he returns".

Sounds like she doesn't believe her own son, at all. Sounds like she doesn't even want to believe him or listen to the truth. Perfect liberal - terrible mother.

It also ignores history. Just how often do you think past armies' veterans went around being "anti-social" after their truly horrific and long-winded war experiences? At least from this country's if not most western-based experiences?
