27. Because he's not.
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 09:47 PM by TayTay
He's not a pacifist. He did take up arms in what he thought at the time was defense of the nation. (It was sold as that, in those commie-fearing days.) He killed in the name of country. I never heard him renounce that, I heard him renounce the leadership who ordered up a war that they couldn't win or justify and he renounced an unfeeling establishment that threw veterans away after they had served like so many used tissues.

Warmonger is a word that is a one-way ticket to political obsolescence. Cindy should be careful about who she hangs out with and what words she allows to be put in her mouth. Neither her son nor most of the other people who are serving or have served in Iraq are warmongers. Her fight is with the Pentagon and the President, the ones who lied about the reasons for war, developed a horrendous plan for the invasion and now can't devise a plan to get out.

This is one way to squander all the good will and benefit of the doubt that she accumulated in August. It's sad to see.
