One mother's war: Mother seeking support cursed at for questioning war; Son survived suicide bomb
John Byrne

Marsha Walker’s son survived a suicide bomb in Iraq.

Her daughter spent a year in Kuwait last year, and her father is a former Marine reservist. She’s part of a military family; she and her sister went into criminal justice because their father dissuaded them from a military career. Marsha is a Blue Star mother, meaning a mother whose son is serving overseas.

So it came as a bit of a surprise when an email exchange with her local Blue Star chapter concluded with an expletive: “fuckoff.”

Fuck them, fuck them all with a steamroller!

2. Good Luck to "Marsha's" son! He has

an Amazing mother!

"Illegal war? Congress voted overwhelming to go to war in Iraq."

The stupid jerk didn't have any of his "facts done", did he?

[brentspeak]

3. Anonymous response to the mother, of course

Marsha Walker's got 100x more guts than the moron who had to respond anonymously.

5. Of course- freakin' cowards!!!!

6. Yes, she's courageous; I'm glad she called them out on 9/11

lies they're perpetuating:

"But there was something that caught her eye: an animated montage of planes hitting the World Trade Center and the resulting aftermath. In one image, a man in a bloodstained shirt teeters on the verge of collapse, in another, a panicked crowd looks on in horror. None of the photographs reference current U.S. military operations in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Beneath the graphic is a live clock: “War was declared on the United States of America, 1,414 days, 15 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds ago,” referring to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

“They’re trying to make a connection between Iraq and 9/11,” she asserts. “I guess that’s supposed to make parents feel better in some way but only the uninformed ones–because if you’re informed, it infuriates you.”

7. THANKS for the link to Brainshrub!

Not to ignore your original post, but
out of curiousity, I clicked on the link
to the "Mother of All DU GTs" and WOW,
what a great site-
I joined immediately after reading the
"about us."
Very cool site.

9. Are you a member?

If so, I just posted a link on the Roberts thread that
I have not posted here-
It is a VERY long read about Judge Robert Bork, (FS)
whose wife Ellen Bork is a contributing writer to
the PNAC.
If you are interested in reading it, here is
the link, it is not for anyone with a short attention span,
only fair to warn you and anyone else who wants
to read it, BUT if you can stick with it, you fully
comprehend how & why Robert's was nominated and most
importantly, what it means as far as the future of
the judicial system.
I didn't sleep after I read it.

11. No, I'm just advertising for brainshrub, but thanks for

the article, which I'm bookmarking!

12. Give yourself a LONG time to read it-

It is HEAVY reading, serious language-
There were several passages I had to read
several times in order to understand what was
being said, the verbage is the
type used by Harvard law types, but it is
WELL worth the effort and time to digest
what it says-
prepare not to sleep though...
When you read it, you have no choice
but to fully digest the full meaning and
direction of a complete overhaul in our country's
judicial system intended by these freaks.

10. You can feel this mother's pain

and it just breaks my heart. How could it not affect the anonymous boob who insulted her, her children serving and all the troops serving in Iraq? How could this person not having feelings? Or at least be courteous enough to not answer this mom's email.

Sadly, for their own reasons Blue Star Families chose to leave her out hanging, and not speak up, when contacted by Raw Story. That's what is needed, more families speaking up. But, I suppose they are perhaps fearful of political backlash.

I can't express adequately how much this story has touched me. I pray my son won't be drafted for this or another war by this band of mobsters occupying the White House, using the U.S. government as a front for profiteering.
