Boy, does it ever SUCK that Bush held guns to so many people's heads and forced them to enlist.

That is the one thing that has always "blown" me away. It started out with Mikey Moore saying "would you send you children to Iraq". My answer, (after a sucker punch to the face) would be, this is America. If they are 18 and enlist, they accept the duties of an armed service person, and there would be nothing I could do about it. If they are 17 and under, it would be illegal you fat bastard to send them anywhere. Not even by UPS, FedEx or DHL you bloated pussbag. But, anyhow. I am sorry to see that a fine young man gave his life to his country so his Mother would not be shot for doing what she did.

What does the soldier's volunteer status have to do with his mother's politics?

She dishonored his memory. That is not reason to disparage the soldier.

Yeah, it's Bush's fault, even though to be a 24 year old 1st.Lt. he most likely started in ROTC in college after graduating high school SIX years ago. That would make it Clintons fault ; )

She lost her son in war. She has the right to be a mother with an anguished opinion, seeking blame.

Somebody has to disarm bombs. Those who choose to do it and their families deserve our respect. This woman is just knee-jerking during our generation of victimhood.

Laura Bush is just the person to face this woman. It comes with the job.

What ever became of our sense of duty and honor?
