Gotta address the Cindy Sheehan issue
Now, I'm not real pleased when anybody calls anybody else a prostitute. It's just not nice! BUT and this, my friends is a huge but, this lady has lost any right to my respect.
I am an Army wife. This year my husband will finish a 20 year career during which he has seen combat, dodged bullets and done some pretty awesome things. As a woman, married to the military, I have had the recurrent nightmare of receiving the last phone call, opening the door to see the CNO (casualty notification officer) and having to raise four children alone. Fortunately, for me that was not the case. I feel for Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother. I do not feel for the woman who a year after the loss of her son has used his name to further a political agenda. I find it sad and pitiable that she has let her love for her son turn into a vengeful quest for political notoriety. As a mother, I can't imagine using my child as a poster boy for such public display of animosity. This is akin to the mother of a mentally handicapped boy holding him in front of the camera and yelling see this sick retarded child... Her love for Casey has become heartbreakingly confused with her hate for Bush. She'll never remember her boy as anything else but an anti-war prop. And sadly, no one else will either.

How many years has Cindy Sheehan spent living outside the freedom of the United States?....None?.... Has she personally observed the problems other countries/people have? Their lack of the very freedoms we enjoy everyday, because brave men and women like her son fought and died? "It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you...." -Dick Cheney.... Her son is turning over in his grave for embarrassment. Or, did she, as a Mom, just "Fail" to instill the same values in Casey that she had....And now she's angry Casey made his own choice to be in the service and perished? Before she says one more word about the War, the President, or the "Agenda", she needs to read the book of "Job" in the Bible. I for one, have heard enough of her. She hates America now? Doesn't want to live here anymore? I'll personally buy her a one-way ticket anywhere in the world, all I ask is, she never comes back to the country she now hates. The bird WILL sing softer on a different roost. Her son is gone. Really Gone. She sees two inches in front of her face, that's all, no further...(24 year Retired Air Force Master Sergeant)
