The photo of her touching a cross, looking solemn that you see EVERYWHERE is making me sick.
It's as if she's in some kind of alternate reality where she thinks that is her son there that she's touching.
Look, I lost my only Sister 10 years ago, it was very, very hard to move on from that. Obviously, even harder for my Mom. Even I don't 100% know what it's like for her, and she and I are extremely close and open with each other.
So on the loss part, I understand what she feels. But turning it into a big political crusade is pointless.
Besides, whether this war is right or wrong, the bottom line I hope everyone can understand is that when someone joins the military, they do so fully knowing it could put their life in danger. If he joined during the war, even more reason to respect that simple fact.
She does not respect this. She does not respect the choice her son made, and the risks he understood were involved. In some ways she is making a mockery out of his service, and the loss of his life performing a duty for his country - and again, it doesn't matter whether that duty is right or wrong.
