"Mom"
Bob Parks: Black & Right ^ | 4/29/07 | Bob Parks

When some of hear the words of our “leadership”, many of us are outraged. Many of us wonder how those we elect can be so callous and insensitive. Many of us wonder if those that were elected really know how their words affect people.

I’m beginning to understand.

This is a sensitive topic in my home and I can only imagine our situation multiplied by the hundreds of mothers who are going through what one is going through here.

Ya’ know, if they vote to end the war, the leadership of the military should just pull everybody out at that very moment. Just leave. Of course I’m dreaming...

Excellent article sir. My son wants to enlist in the Marines, but I’m torn. Proud that he wants to serve his country and afraid he will be throwing his life away if the Dems are elected in 08. What’s a mother to do?

I agree with that very much. If anti-defense voters get their way this time, I'm pretty sure that they'll get what they're really asking for within a few years. We'll see how the generic, anti-military civilian can do with his "guns" and his vanity against sneaking and/or bounding enemy guerrillas. I'm very much in favor of our Second Amendment, but soldiers do warfare well--not police, lawyers, mayors, movie stars, or other civilians.

It isn’t just mom’s. It’s wives and children, too. I don’t even bother watching the news now. It’s too hard. I can’t stand knowing that my husband, their father, is over there, and those in “leadership” think he is just a gamepiece in their game of checkers. I won’t even say Chess, because they aren’t intelligent enough to even begin to understand how the game of Chess works and how thinking a few moves ahead instead of kneejerk reactions is crucial.

I blame our Republicans also, because they don’t have the backbone to stand up to these losers and tell them to cut the crap.
