NC: Why did he decide to join the Army?
CS: Well, he got lied to by his recruiter. His recruiter made him five promises that he broke all the promises to Casey. Casey was a very trusting and trustworthy person. So, he felt everyone else was trustworthy. Especially somebody who represents the government

Basically what she's saying is that her son was a moron and she's the only one who knew what was best for him. Imagine how stupid she must think he is to have reinlisted long since knowing such foolishness.

Steven, I am starting to get the impression that Casey, perhaps, didn't even want to talk logically with his mother about why he chose to join.

Perhaps, it was his way of cutting a seriously tenacious umbilical cord...

Wacky, wacky stuff.

And I think Cindy's amateur handlers are going to keep this train wreck in the spot light till the last bit of steam issues forth.

The fact that he re-enlisted is an important one due to Cindy's continually talking about him being killed after only 5 days in Iraq, after being lied to by the recruiter! This was his second hitch.

So, why did he re-enlist? And volunteer for Iraq duty? And volunteer to go on a dangerous patrol?

I suppose the contract her son signed wasn't read by her son or her?

I find that hard to believe.
