Powerful photo of a young widow's grief. Everyone who voted for the war should be forced to see it.

Mitt Romney "served" in France during the Vietnam War, yet protested FOR the draft in his college years. Of course, none of his five sons served in the military. Which would be fine, except they, like the rest of the rich GOP, are happy to make wars that have other people's children die. And to create grieving widows.

more obscene is that her barely adult husband is dead. Wars should be fought by the filthy old men who start them. BRING THEM ALL HOME NOW!!!! Just declare victory and get the hell out. I hate this crap.
