Good link CJ and welcome to the board. Hope you'll join us often.

ranchwife said:My 18 year old son, a high school senior set for graduation on may 22nd, took his oath and signed the papers to join the US Navy....he will ship out for basic training on the 22nd of June to Chicago....he is WELL AWARE of the risks he has taken by joining the military...the risk of going to Iraq or Afghanistan or any other area of conflict in the world---at any given time with little or no notice!!!! I am PROUD of the decision my son has made---he made this decision with a clear conscience, completely on his own and FOR HIS COUNTRY!!!!!!
Thank you, cowpuncher, for the examples of other families dealing with unimaginable grief----those families had NO WARNING and WERE NOT PREPARED to lose their children!!!! THAT is the true tragedy!! When one's child joins the military, certainly there must be a little knowledge in the back of their mind that says "gee, my child may end up going to war and they may not return home...."![]()

Disagreeable said:But they're a lot less likely to be killed if they join the Navy instead of the Marines, aren't they? Yes, the military is dangerous even in peaceful times, but those on this board who insult and try to demean Cindy Sheehan because they disagree with her are the lowest of the low. How would you feel if you lose a child and have people say the things about you that are being said about her?ranchwife said:My 18 year old son, a high school senior set for graduation on may 22nd, took his oath and signed the papers to join the US Navy....he will ship out for basic training on the 22nd of June to Chicago....he is WELL AWARE of the risks he has taken by joining the military...the risk of going to Iraq or Afghanistan or any other area of conflict in the world---at any given time with little or no notice!!!!

FYI, dis----my son is going into large equipment repair and welding so, YES, there is a damned good chance that my son will see Iraq if this conflict is yet unresolved when the time comes!!!!
And don't you EVER ASSUME that someone else on here does not know the pain of losing a child and being judged by others!!!! She brought this on HERSELF!!!! Yes, my heart aches at the loss she has suffered....noone should EVER feel the pain of burying a child....NOONE...but, i also think of all the other families of lost soldiers who also suffer and the fact that their suffering is being compounded daily by this woman and her media blitz!!!!
Wow- You got all that from 5 words and a link that did not insult Mrs. Sheehan? You try to put everyone into handy little brackets-for or against, Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, etc. In all truth, I'm just an old fat cowboy, who reads& listens to all sides and thinks for himself. Actually, as I said above, it's her right to speak out if she chooses to. In a way I feel sorry for this lady and wonder what will become of her after Michael Moore and friends and moveon.org are done using her for their own agenda, cut off the money and leave her to deal with the rest of her life. Do you really think her hate will sustain her?Disagreeable said:Sorry Dis, she put herself in that jackpot by her own actions and by her own choice of associates. When she chose to join the circus, what did you expect? I support her right to not support the war and to be vocal about it if she chooses, don't agree with it, but that's not really the point. I also support other peoples' right to disagree with her. Maybe some don't use words you like to hear, but if Mrs. Sheehan can speak her mind, so can they.And therein lies the difference between the Faster Horses, Cal, Katrina, Steve and me. I've wouldn't consider insulting a grieving mother who supports this war. there are posts insulting, questioning, making fun of Cindy Sheehan.And that is wrong. I don't remember ever agreeing with anything I've read of yours, but you still have a right to your opinion. But this isn't about you.I would never, ever, object to anyone putting their opinion on this board. But several people here started a move to have me banned because they don't agree with me. Some people, even those who don't agree with me spoke up, and the movement died.So if you choose to side with people who vilify a grieving mother because she has the courage of her convictions or would supress free speech, go right ahead.
And therein lies the difference between the Faster Horses, Cal, Katrina, Steve and me. I've wouldn't consider insulting a grieving mother who supports this war. Yet on this board there are posts insulting, questioning, making fun of Cindy Sheehan. I would never, ever, object to anyone putting their opinion on this board.
