Gold Star Mom Speaks Out (see article)

I'm bending one of my unwritten rules with this post. Normally I say very little about Iraq. Everyone knows I opposed the war from the beginning and they also know I want our men and women home.

Worried American has done much more research than I so normally I just hold her coat and support her when it seems necessary.

This post from Daily KOS, however, touched me as a mother with a National Guard son who still may find himself deployed. We think not, but if they're willing to recruit autistic children and send soldiers ** back to combat with serious PTSD , my son's service inflicted back injury won't slow them down much.

** I'm not sure if we posted on the soldiers with PTSD; the link is to fire dog lake. Thanks.

I want all our sons and daughters out of this quagmire and safely home. It's not worth one more life and never was.
