Families Question Bush
Some military families who have lost a loved one in Bush's unnecessary wars are angry about it. According to MSNBC,

"The number of military families who oppose Operation Iraqi Freedom, though never measured, is probably small. But a nascent antiwar movement has begun to find a toehold among parents, spouses and other relatives of active-duty, reserve and National Guard troops."

Family members express outrage that Bush isn't telling the truth even now.

"They are also angry at the Bush administration's insistence that its policies are nonetheless justified. Cherice Johnson's husband, Navy Corpsman Michael Vann Johnson Jr., was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade last March. "I'd love to say I back 100 percent, but I can't," she says, weeping during a telephone interview. "How many more people are going to die because he can't say, 'I'm sorry, I made a terrible mistake?'"

How tragic for this woman who lost her husband to think it was all for nothing. Will the right wingers question her patriotism?

1. No doubt about it.
In their warped minds, they are the ONLY patriots and any questioning is unpatriotic, and a betrayal of their own family that * had killed.

the responses she recieved on the original article were outrageous..luckily many of us at DU and from other websites responded to her in a better manner, and now she is marching along with all the military families at Dover AF base on March 14 ..
she also belongs to Military Families Speak Out now..good for her. We are growing every day!
