Shut up, you glory hound!

Casey Sheehan was an American soldier. He volunteered to serve in the United States Armed Forces. The basic purpose of any Force of Arms is to kill people and break things. Sometimes, members of our Armed Forces are killed doing their job. It is tragic, and it is terrible, but never forget that Casey Sheehan died as a volunteer in the service of his country. One should expect that when you join the service, you will eventually be put in harm's way and could possibly be killed. The Armed Forces is more than just a free ride through college.

Casey Sheehan was an American soldier. He died in the service of his country, and he should be remembered as a patriot. He should lie in honored glory, and be remembered for his sacrifice and service. I say "should," because Casey Sheehan will always be remembered as the dead soldier with the whining bitch mother who thinks she's more special than other folks who have lost loved ones in Iraq and demands a meeting with the President. Hello!? You already had that meeting! Remember? You said that he was kind and sympathetic. Now, you say he was unkind and uncaring. Were you lying then, or now? Either way, you have no integrity. There must be a reason why your husband wants a divorce, and the entire Sheehan family has shunned you.

I give you the following excerpt from an interview with this clueless woman:

MATTHEWS: Can I ask you a tough question? A very tough question.
SHEEHAN: Yes.
MATTHEWS: All right. If your son had been killed in Afghanistan, would you have a different feeling?
SHEEHAN: I don’t think so, Chris, because I believe that Afghanistan is almost the same thing. We’re fighting terrorism. Or terrorists, we’re saying. But they’re not contained in a country. This is an ideology and not an enemy. And we know that Iraq, Iraq had no terrorism. They were no threat to the United States of America.
MATTHEWS: But Afghanistan was harboring, the Taliban was harboring al-Qaida which is the group that attacked us on 9/11.
SHEEHAN: Well then we should have gone after al-Qaida and maybe not after the country of Afghanistan.
MATTHEWS: But that’s where they were being harbored. That’s where they were headquartered. Shouldn’t we go after their headquarters? Doesn’t that make sense?
SHEEHAN: Well, but there were a lot of innocent people killed in that invasion, too. … But I’m seeing that we’re sending our ground troops in to invade countries where the entire country wasn’t the problem. Especially Iraq. Iraq was no problem. And why do we send in invading armies to march into Afghanistan when we’re looking for a select group of people in that country?
So I believe that our troops should be brought home out of both places where we’re obviously not having any success in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden is still on the loose and that’s who they told us was responsible for 9/11.


Cindy Sheehan, shut your damned mouth and quit pissing on the memory of your dead son.
