(62,325 posts)person, father, mother, sister, brother who lost a loved unnecessarily in these criminal wars. Not one of them deserves the attacks you just made on the mother of a dead soldier. Not one of them has 'more deserving story'. ALL of them are victims of the lies of the war criminals who used them to profit from these wars.
Cindy Sheehan should never, EVER be mocked on this site for whatever choices she made to try to deal with the tragic loss she suffered.
She will never see her son again. Do you have any fucking clue what that can do a person? All those Republicans who lost their children in these criminals wars have pretty moving stories also. I could tell you dozens of their stories. Using them for political purposes is vile. When this country protects them from being sent to fight for Corporations, we will know that they care about them. When this country stops droning innocent men, women and children, who have EQUALLY moving stories, for profit, then we will know they care about them.
I completely understand now where you are coming from. If a soldier supports your politics whatever they are, he's 'has a moving story' if a soldier or his family has different political views from you, they are insane.
Cindy Sheehan is a hero, she tried to get the truth about these horrific wars and did what none of our media had the guts to do, she faced Bush and his criminal gang DOWN, one, sad, lonely mother of a dead son. She gets a pass from me on how she decided to deal with her enormous grief.
