Exactly. Comes back to what I said about respecting the decisions made by my sons any time. If they insisted on embarking on a military or formula 1 driver career, I would get a serious lump in my throat at any time. But I would always respect their decisions - in life as in death - and never try to influence same in any directions for personal reasons, emotional or political of any kind, at any time.

That all has to do with the ultimate respect for your fellow man and in particular so, as practised in connection with your most loved ones.

She claims her son was forced into combat by Bush.

There are many things being attributed as having been said by this woman that have been proven incorrect...can you provide a link?

It's a shame that we lost a hero like that guy, but it's an even bigger shame to see his memory being used in a way that he would probably not approve of.

I have to laugh when people hide behind a smokescreen of calling these people heroes...i can't help but feel that they are trying to soothe the challenge to their morality presented by this war...this man was probably in the wrong place at the wrong time, put into an unfortunate misguided war by a president who miscalculated at every turn...he's much more a victim than a hero.
