How do you know this exactly? The real story is brief enough. Casey Sheehan enlisted in the Army in 2000 at age 20. The country was at peace. When he was asked to re-enlist four years later, he knew that he would probably be sent to Iraq. He re-enlisted anyway. In March 2004, he was sent to Iraq as a mechanic attached to the artillery division of the 1st Cavalry Division. When a convoy was attacked in Sadr City a month later, he volunteered to join the rescue mission – although he had no obligation to take part in combat. He was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. Did he intend to say, “I love my country?” Or was he tricked into saying it? He volunteered to re-enlist with the war under way – as an experienced young man, not a teenager. Then he volunteered again, for a dangerous mission above and beyond the call of duty. And one thing more, from his sister, Carly: “That’s all he wanted to do was serve God and his country his whole life.” (He was a devout Roman Catholic.) What message emerges? What it sounds like to me is: “I devote my life lovingly to my country and my God.” thepeninsulaqatar.com You figure it out. Does it sound to you like her son would have supported her position? I think it is totally obvious that he wouldn't.
