Don't give me this crap about signing up and not wanting to fight. When you sign up you take an oath to "protect this country against all enemies foriegn and domestic." You know good and well that you may go to war.
All Islamic radicals are our enemy!!!!

For those of you against the war in Iraq, open your frickin eyes!!! we are fighting Iran in Iraq. Iran was and is going to have to be delt with sooner or later on order to ensure global stability. i.e. The end of Radical Islam.

Lecrapface, why do you have to put me down and call me names. Is making your point not good enough? Or do you have to resort to name calling because your argument holds no wieght? I am going to guess the later

probably to get away from that stupid c*nt.. I hear you... they knew what they were getting into before signing up..Nobody forced them into this, and now this b*tch is running her mouth about it.. her son is probably rolling in his grave. And yes some soliders do want to go to war, my good friend is going back for his 3rd or 4th tour and he asked for it

Don't you have parents? Do you agree 100% with every opinion they have?
Cindy can be as anti-war as she wants. Her son is a separate person and thus has the right to make his own decisions. And why are just Islamic radicals our enemies? Why not all radicals?
What makes a person radical by the way? Because you could be considered a radical to lots of people I'm sure. You've already proven yourself an idiot asking such a question. No question is stupid, but you sure are.

She wouldn't have such a public name if she supported her son's choice. Then she'd just be another mother that supported the military. Look how much attention this is getting her. Attention for disgracing her son's name. She should be singing his praises and showing intense pride knowing that her son died doing what he believed in. Instead, she's got another broken marriage and has other people supporting her so that she can protest something she really doesn't know much about. It's sad and you have to feel sorry for her son. He deserves better than she's given him, which is a bad name. She won't go away as long as people and the press keep focusing on her. Quite sad that someone like her can get attention, but not our brave soldiers who can tell you what it's really like.

She's not anti-war. She's anti Iraq war. Big difference!
Had her son died in Afghanistan going after bin laden and the taliban, she would have been OK with it.
I served for over 21 years in the US military and am a veteran of the First Gulf War. That war was just, as was the invasion of Afghanistan going after binL and the taliban. There is NO justification for the current Iraq war. Period!

It is extremely sad and discouraging when we lose our soldiers in war but we signed the line, we knew it was a possibility, a very real possibility and we have to accept it. It has got to be even harder to lose a son, especially in a war you don't agree with, but the bottom line is that our freedom and the ability to live peacefully within the United States borders depends on the blood shed by our soldiers. I think that her campaign is a hippy inspired attempt to achieve a peace that only exists in the deranged minds of these radical "Veterans for Peace". As a result of this possibly ill-planned war, the Iraqi people may be one step closer to enjoying the peace that we take for granted. That is something great! I think she is drowning her sons name and achievement in the muddy swamp water their campaign has proved to be.

She would have a very valid point if he had been drafted, but he reenlisted during the war. When you reenlist at war, there's a good chance you know what you're getting into.
I guess she just doesn't think her son was capable of making his own decisions and decided to use his unfortunate death as a springboard to use him as a posterchild in her protest of American soldiers and the war we're fighting.

Lets remember that her son was raised by his father, and, even after reaching his majority, wanted nothing to do with her (interviews with her ex-husband).
I do offer my condolences to the Sheehan family, but she, by her actions, has turned her son's death into a farce so that a bunch of anti-war nut jobs have something to rally around. To hear his father tell it, he was proud of what he did, and if he was sent to a combat zone, would do everything he could to come home safe, but he was aware that this is war, and anything can happen.

He joined the military because he was an honorable American who chose to make the ultimate sacrifice to defend his freedom. It's too bad that he died to protect the freedoms of bitches like his Mother. Cindy Sheehan should be deported from America permanently, or better yet killed.

While I do agree with you, I would venture to guess that she didn't become so adamantly "anti-war" until after her son was killed. My brother fought in Iraq for two years and while I stand behind our military 100%, that doesn't exactly make me "pro-war".

Her son like most in the military believed in GWB war.
Cindy Sheehan is not blind to Bush lies and knows better.
