Another Sheehan Would Serve
According to the The Times Online, Casey Sheehan's younger brother Andy wanted to follow his brother into the armed forces, but was rebuffed by his anti-war mother:
She has had to dissuade her younger son, Andy, from joining the Army. "I said there was no way this Government was going to get another of my children."
I can understand Cindy Sheehan's position. A family that has given one son in the service of their country is certainly under no obligation to provide another. And yet…
Andy Sheehan still wanted to serve, even after his brother Casey's death.
What would drive a young man with a vehemently anti-war mother, and a brother that died serving in the Army in Iraq, to even think about joining a nation's military in a time of war?
I don't know for certain.
But the fact remains that left to his own devices another Sheehan would serve in his nation's armed forces, and I think that says a lot more about the validity of America's cause in this war than mother Cindy Sheehan would like to admit.
Hi Guys,
whis is a rambling from Ms Sheehan's own filthy mouth.peacenik? I don't think so.........Seems she's pretty evil herself.....CHECK IT OUT!
"We are not waging a war on terror in this country. We’re waging a war of terror. The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush!"
So declared Cindy Sheehan earlier this year during a rally at San Francisco State University.
Sheehan, who is demanding a second meeting with Bush, stated: "We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now."
Sheehan unleashed a foul-mouth tirade on April 27, 2005:
"They’re a bunch of fucking hypocrites! And we need to, we just need to rise up..." Sheehan said of the Bush administration.
"If George Bush believes his rhetoric and his bullshit, that this is a war for freedom and democracy, that he is spreading freedom and democracy, does he think every person he kills makes Iraq more free?"
"The whole world is damaged. Our humanity is damaged. If he thinks that it’s so important for Iraq to have a U.S.-imposed sense of freedom and democracy, then he needs to sign up his two little party-animal girls. They need to go to this war."
"We want our country back and, if we have to impeach everybody from George Bush down to the person who picks up dog shit in Washington, we will impeach all those people."
Have a safe day all! God Bless

Thanks for all the coverage on Cindy Sheehan. As a mom with four sons in the military, three of whom have been to Iraq, I just haven't known how to feel about this woman. You've pretty much summed it up for me.
