Cindy Sheehan

This will be a quick one. Everytime I see this lady on the news or I read about her in the Stars and Stripes at dinner, I can't help but be disgusted by her.

Seriously - I just have a few questions for her.

Were you anti-war before your son joined the service and went to Iraq? If you were, was your son aware of your opinion about the war and his service? Was your son anti-war?

Because seriously, I find your opinion and your actions dispicable and I know I will never know the answer to these questions, but if your son didn't know your opinion before he gave his life for our country (your country) and his fellow Marines, I find you even more digusting. I swear, if my mother ever road the coattails of my sacrifice (which she never would because she is honorable and respectful and believes in her country and military) to further her personal agenda I would roll over in my grave a thousand times over.

Let your son's sacrifice be honorable, because it was and it should be remember as just that, not as a controversial anti-war statement that he probably never intended.

Disgrace and shame are what I think of when I hear or read your name. Not disgrace or shame for my being here or serving my country honorably, but disgrace and shame for you to be so ignorant and naive and disrespectful of your son's sacrifice and those of our military members.

Mom - please don't ever follow in the shoes of this woman.
