Yes, she has paid the ultimate price. For many mothers, a son's life is even more valuable than their own. Do you have any kids? She paid the price for Bush's war, losing her son. What is your problem with that?
I have zero problem with a mother grieving her son. However, I doubt her motivations. If her goal was to have the Iraq conflict end, why make odd statements about Israel or go to Venezuela and be seen in agreement with Chavez, you know, bashing the "evil" US.... THEN declare that you want to run for Senate????
And even if she said she made a sacrifice.. so what?
Do you think her sons death gives her a "higher" moral standing to fight against the war?
It is about Conservatives like you who start frothing at the mouth at each statement by someone like Cindy Sheehan, however innocent it might be, yet you look past the lies that were put forward by Bush and Co to launch this war and kill her son and thousands of others. You pass that off as "political fluffing".
This is where we disagree.... You say she is innocent, I say she has an agenda and she is exploiting her sons death to get "air time". I just can't believe she is being truthful about her motivations...
Also, I disagree that the President lied, so there really is no point in addressing that any more.
HAHAHAHA, I KNEW this was coming....
- I have disability in my left ear, a hearing loss that I developed from my service in the Army. (M1 tanks have a turbine engine, high pitch whine for HOURS and HOURS, wears on you...) It is only 30% for now, so I am technically still eligible to go back in on a waiver... Going back in with a waiver would not allow me to serve in direct fire combat units.
- Even so, I STILL tried to get back in, recently I might add. Want the Recruiter I used to give you a call?
I LOVE it when you pinko commies ask this question to people, you know, the old "if you are so for the war, why are you not serving..."
Simply put, you have no idea what it means to SERVE.
Military service is HARD, really, really hard at times. Clearly it is not for everyone, nor should it be. A desire to serve is noble, but simply put, not all people can function well in a military life style. Thankfully, our force is still all volunteer and I hope it stays that way.
