I believe as it is a volunteer military, that Sheehan's son Casey, signed himself up for duty. I would imagine that if we looked at his sign up papers, there are several places for his signature. I don't imagine any of the signatures are signed under duress. The military hardly needs people who are not mentally stable or under duress of any type.

BTW, there are literally at least 3700 parents in the US who are in the same situation that she is...all of them have lost a son or daughter in Iraq....about 1450 of the 1850 or so died because of enemy fire.

FNS last night interviewed two couples who lost sons in Iraq. Both support their sons decision to have been there, and honor both their sons, and the military for what they have and are accomplishing.

But then, evidently Sheehan is the only one who has been co-opted by moveon and the far left....

Very sad indeed.

No "Jedi Mind" tricks here. May your mind resonate freely at its own frequency. Sheehan's political epiphanies appear to vibrate at the same resonant frequency as Soros and Hamas.

anything you post about her is not going to resonate with me.

TomC, What does Isreal in Palestine have to do with the death of her Son? Such a statement by her, indicates the tragic death of her Son is not the motivation for her rantings.
