A Navy Seal weighs in on Cindy Sheehan

While randomly going from bloglink to bloglink starting here, I ended up at froggyruminations- a blog authored by a navy seal (I think). Apparently, he takes a break from ripping terrorists' faces off every once in a while to write something like this. I'll quote extensively-

"Although military recruiting has clearly suffered over the past year as a result of the unrelenting propaganda campaign against the Iraq War by the MSM, reenlistments by deployed troops have never been so robust. I don't think that Selective Reenlistment Bonus’ can explain this “phenomenon” since most of the troops that are re-upping are not eligible for them. I do not know what Casey Sheehan’s reason was for reenlisting, but since he was certain that he would be deploying to Iraq it seems reasonable to assume that the instinct to fight for his Nation was something that Casey felt deeply. That he answered his Nation’s call to service with the sacrifice of his life indicates to me that he is worthy of honor and gratitude from his fellow citizens and especially his family.

For that reason, I believe that his mother’s very public effort to steal his honor is one of the most despicable acts that can be perpetrated by a family member of the fallen. Nothing would bring me greater shame than to know that my own mother was using the willful sacrifice of my very life as an opportunity to garner public attention for the belief that my life was wasted. I am utterly disgusted by a woman, her loss notwithstanding that would allow her son’s enemies and those of the Nation he died to defend to profit from his death. Her self centered actions have created what amounts to a pack of hungry hyenas fighting over the corpse of her fallen son. The honor and respect that Casey is entitled to is being torn apart by the likes of Moveon.org, Michael Moore, Code Pink, the Kossacks, and the MSM anti-war establishment for the whole world to see.

Casey, as a brother warrior, I bid you rest and pray that you have not seen what your mother has wrought. RIP."

Since the left has postured Cindy Sheehan's views as especially relevant because of her position as the mother of a fallen soldier- "the moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute." (Maureen Dowd)- clearly showing their willingness to exploit the military for political gain. I don't want this to seem like I'm playing the "dems hate the military card" but I think it is valid in this case. How else could you ignore the "moral authority" of those who give their life for a cause they believe in?
