Reply #37: I'm sorry [View All]

that happened to you, Mari. When I wrote a letter against the war last year, the paper was flooded with all kinds of responses calling me a traitor & worse, including one from someone I went to church with! I got calls from the pastor & my deacon, asking if anything was "wrong." ::eyeroll:: I guess they thought Satan got me or something. And these are otherwise very nice, sane people! Now what's worse is the paper won't print ANYTHING I write.

Also, Mari, just to let you know, thanks to your posts about the mfso.org, I've put a friend of mine in touch with them. Her son just got sent over & he's already emailed her saying he's now against the war in Iraq, now that he's seen first-hand what's going on & happening to our soldiers over there. He says they are undercounting the number of war-dead by not including in the tally those who are taken to Germany & later die there from their injuries.

I hope your step-son remains safe!
