A woman who married a soldier

Who has served in Bosnia, South Korea and in Iraq twice:

When it comes down to who comes home in a draped-coffin, soldiers and their families have almost no choice. They don't get to decide who will be lucky enough to come back alive (if only a shell of their former self). They don't get to decide which military spouse will be forced to raise a newborn who will never know their parent who died in this war based on lies. They don't get to decide who will be left orphaned by a single parent.

Only our government can decide.

Our government has decided that our soldiers and their families should be willing to sacrifice for a war that never should have been, while their own offspring are only asked to sacrifice a few bucks at Nieman-Marcus.

How come when it comes to the single parents created by the war in Iraq, the "family values" crowd appears to be deafeningly silent?
