1. he's just a brainwashed parent who does not want to believe that his son died for nothing
Edited on Wed Apr-04-07 07:20 AM by SoCalDem
I have a gut feeling that the gung-ho parents are all grappling with these feelings.

in the dark of night when they wake up because they thought they heard their son/daughter's car drive up,, in those minutes after they fully wake up and realize that they are never coming back again.. that's when the awful truth has to sink in,, but at the other times, they simply have to make a narrative...a story that they tell themselves. that story is one where the child was brave..loved being a soldier..died for his/her country..

if they cannot convince themselves of the story, they would have to come to the conclusion that their child was 'wasted'...and who wants to live the rest of their life knowing that that child they raised is gone now..for no good reason.

5. I am not defending these people
however sometimes it takes some parents more time than others to come to grips with the loss of a child in war, and to actually get over the grief and see the true expense of their loss. I and you may hate this war but but we shouldn't judge their feelings based on how they grieve, they are just searching for a way to validate it.

8. My thoughts, exactly.
What a shame that * expoited people's patriotism and love for the flag and country in this corrupt, bankrupt, business venture in Iraq.

I'm looking at this moran with my mouth hanging open. This fool just said that he doesn't believe that bush lied to him, and we should stay in iraq. His own son has been killed and he still support this president. AMAZING, totally amazing that someone would allow himself to be completely BRAINWASHED.

4. At that point I snapped
Soemone needs to tell me why I should be educated on international politics and Iraqi history by a fugging cheese cutter. Listen you Rethuglican hack, people will soon expose your RNC email address.

This man must have a connection to Rudi and Kerick.

3. I am uncomfortable calling the man names, - he is a victim too - he lost a child
whatever else we might say about him, he is a victim.

I don't agree with him at all, but think he has a right to share his views.
