Cindy Sheehan is done > Rexroad.com

According to CNN Cindy Sheehan has given up her protests.

It is my personal opinion that Cindy Sheehan had every right to make her political statement any way she wanted within reason. She crossed the line a couple times in my mind but that is minor in the big picture.

I don't know Cindy Sheehan nor did I know Cpl. Sheehan but I know something about United States Marines. Cpl. Sheehan was exactly where every Marine 03 wants to be. He was in the middle of the action doing his job.

When I look at Cindy Sheehan I see a Mom that has every right to mourn the loss of her son. As a father, I understand that. What I did not like is the way she often described her son and the way he would view her actions.

It does not matter one bit if Cpl. Sheehan supported the war or not. He was a Marine that did the job he was trained to do. Marines don't set political policy. They destroy the things they are ordered to destroy and take possession of the things they are ordered to take possession of. They serve the President of any political party as their Commander in Chief and execute the orders with equal efficiency no matter the occupant of the White House. Cindy Sheehan never seemed to understand this concept.

Ms. Sheehan is divesrting herself of "Camp Casey" in Crawford Texas. A Sacramento group is attempting to purchase the 5 acres for a Veterans Memorial to those lost in the liberation of Afghanistan and Iraq.
