Has this already been talked about...
or is it being ignored here? I haven't been on for awhile, so forgive me if it has been discussed, but I heard about it on Bill Press this AM and am curious as to what it is going to spark:


http://cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_234202705.html





an excerpt:


"We protest their contention that our troops are no good, and they do nothing but harm,” says military mother Michelle Egan. “My son saves lives! He helps people.”

Egan, the mother of a 20-year-old Navy corpman, traded words with anti-war protestors in front of the KFBK radio station Monday. Conservative host Melanie Morgan is driving the counter movement



Who ever said that the troops are no good or do nothing but harm...man these people are good at twisting things around to fit their agenda

4. Guilty conscious, feeling remorse for attacking innocent Iraqis?
Or trying to justify why her son is there and might be killed for what she in her heart knows is a war based on Lies? If her son is saving lives and helping people, she can be proud of him. That doesn't give her the right to define that "contentions" of those who don't agree with her assessment of the troops' participation in Iraq. I don't recall Cindy or anyone else at Camp Casey saying 'the troops were no good or do nothing but harm'.
