i watched this film and its a good thing i bought it for only a dollar at the haji shop. how do you protest a war that your son fought in? i guess some people just werent built for the military in the first place. all you young folks should think before you join. im tired of seeing people serve in iraq with no pride or glory.

Ok I'm going to try to explain it again...

She is not against his choices and what he was fighting for. She is just against the war. Just think about it.

historystartsnow you dont make sense. you cant say you she supported her son but not the war. war and troops go together. either you support or you dont. plain and simple. basically its like saying everything her son was doing and fighting for was BS.

[Historystartsnow]

She's against the war, not what her son fought for. For example:

-He was fighting for his country, She's not against it. She's against the war.

-He was fighting for freedom, She's also not against it. She just lost a son so it's a natural reaction.

WOW! now his mom is against the war! its like saying your son's life was a waste......i know if i was killed in action i wouldnt want my mother going around preaching against the war....i would want her to support the choices and sacrifices i made.....other than that.....RIP Corporal
