The Lost Nomad posted this photo on his site today. It speaks to me on so many levels.

A commenter took issue with my passing reference to Cindy Sheehan in a previous post. My point was she does not represent the views of the vast majority of Americans, nor does she speak for all mothers who have lost a “child” in the war on terror. Of course, our soldiers are not children, they are adult volunteers. In the case of Casey Sheehan, after his first tour in Iraq he re-enlisted. He also volunteered for the rescue mission in which he lost his life. He was brave. He was a hero. He was where he wanted to be doing what he wanted to do. He represents all that makes America great. I do not believe his mother speaks for him either.

Anyway, Mark Steyn’s column in the Chicago Sun Times pretty much captures my views on this issue.
