Aye, but what war did her son volunteer to? A war fought to preserve American lives in the face of imminent danger by WMD? Or a war that was started for ulterior reasons and sold on false grounds?
One's appreciation of miss Sheehan's cause depends a good deal on those questions. Was her son misled?
I do wish she wouldn't bring up her son every time though. She can not indefinitely, on each and every subject, claim to be his spokeswoman. Ironically, that would, after his physical death, mean the demise of him as an independent personality too. This also hints at what you rightfully pointed out too.
No, because she lives in America, where people are free to voice their opinion with respect for their life and liberty. Deal with it or move to North Korea.Didn't someone shoot her yet?
America, love it or leave it and all that.![]()
When you join the military, you do not get to chose which wars you want to fight in and which ones you don't. That isn't an option. Her son knew full well that he was at the wim of his Commander and Cheif to be sent where ever he thought necessary.Originally Posted by Louis VI the Fat
Indeed, therefore those who send them must use utmost caution, deliberation and their best conscience when commiting them to war. The obligation is mutual.Originally Posted by Ice
Yes, but the mother of a deceased soldier does not to get to use her son's death as an excuse to nag, nag, and NAG. He was there volunterily, end of story.Originally Posted by Louis VI the Fat
Aye, but why did he volunteer? To fight a war fought to preserve American lives in the face of imminent danger by WMD? Or to fight a war that was started for ulterior reasons and sold on false grounds?

Meh, we're going round in circles, aren't we?![]()
Yes. It doesn't matter why he joined, the bottem line is he joined. He is a soldier who voluntered in the United States Army. He knew the consquences of his action, he was a big boy.Originally Posted by Louis VI the Fat
I think this is were my belief that he not only volunteered, but reenlisted, comes into play. Even assuming he was misled the first time, he certainly knew what was happening the second time.Originally Posted by Louis VI the Fat

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
