An open letter to Ms. Sheehan
Dear Ms. Sheehan,
Your son was a soldier. Do you understand that? He was a soldier. He wasn't drafted. He enlisted of his own free will. He joined up to FIGHT. He was well paid to march. To perform rifle-drills with fully automatic assault rifles. I'm not sure what YOU thought that training was for, but generally speaking, when you job is to learn how to aim a weapon that spits out bullets-projectiles designed to kill people-at an alarming rate, your job is to fight. To wage war. To go into a battlezone ready to kill or be killed. I'm betting that your son understood this. He made a choice to sign up and to fight, and he ended up sacrificing his life for the fight.
So here's an idea: stop spitting on his memory! Stop dishonoring his sacrifice. Stop pissing all over the cause your son laid down his life for. Don't give me that "I support the troops, but I think this war is unjust murder!" bull-shit, either. If it's murder, then you're supporting hired murderers, of which your son was one.
I swear to God, you're like those dumb-ass kids that think their life isn't complete unless they're "rebelling" against SOMETHING. At least most of THEM will eventually outgrow it.
And PS, If he DIDN'T sign up to fight, if he thought he would just get a free ride and live off of tax-payer's money, then he was a leeching dumb-ass whose death was his own fault, so stop bitching.
