When my stop lossed son came back fom Iraq, he'd argue with me about the good happening there and

[Breeze54]

sometimes he'd argue with me about what a great choice the *insert name* repub (:argh:) was for America. *sigh*
I don't think he had any clue, while he was there, of what was actually going on here in the USA, about anything while he was there. That was over two years ago, May '06 came home, that he was there and it took a LOT of phone calls and discussions and yelling and anger and talking and LOVE not to lose my mind over his brain washing (IMHO) and then we had the nominee's and the arguing continued about going to Iraq vs NOT!! Argh! I know he was trying to make peace in his own mind but then yesterday, out of the blue; as he rarely e-mails me due to always on the road for his job and the phone calls aren't as often as I'd like them to be, for the same reason (more than twice a month if I had it my way! ;) )... he sent this e-mail to me...

4. Aww Breeze, that's fantastic!!

I'm so happy for you! :toast:

I had a feeling the troops were celebrating like crazy
when Obama won Tuesday night.

--just had that feeling. :)

I hope he comes home very soon.

:hug:

[Breeze54]

7. Hey Kajsa... but he IS home... 2 years ago.... lol!

But it takes them a long time, it seems, to assimilate back into mainstream USA life, you know?

Longer then I thought it would take....

:hi:

[Kajsa]

11. Oh heck- I'm more tired than I thought!

I missed those very important words " came back"

:blush:

I'm soo glad he's home.

My brother took a while to acclimatize back to civilian life
when he returned from Vietnam.

I know what you are saying.

:) :hi:

[Breeze54]

12. Thanks, Kajsa... I was afraid I wasn't making myself clear.

6. If you raise children that don't have their own opinions

that is a sign of bad parenting.

[Breeze54]

8. The probelm was (IMHO) not having access to REAL NEWS, besides Faux Suxs!!!

He has his own opinions, just not opinions I approved of, when he got back. ;)

His opinions of the Iraq War were radically different then before he left. That was the issue.

He was not for invading Iraq before he left.

14. Watching that type of garbage will warp the sanest of minds.

[Kajsa]

16. Arctic Dave, you've just made my day!

Because my son definitely has his own opinions!

:D :hi:

[patrice]

9. Maybe he actually, finally, listened to President Obama.

[Breeze54]

10. Maybe... and Senator Durbin and .....

me! ;)

[stillcool]

13. that's sweet...what a great kid...

and you are a great mom. I think the best thing any mom could ever do is keep the line of communication open. I envy no one the chore of raising a child. But when that child goes to war, and the line of communication is so strong that it can bear that strain, that is a great mom.

[myrna minx]

15. HIs short and sweet message speaks volumes! I'm so happy for you.

:patriot:
