I agree with you as well. I guess I just see that if it were me in her situation, I would like to believe that I would not act as she is. I would like to think that I would be able to honor my childs death and take pride in the fact that at least he died doing something worthwhile and not as a result of a drive by or some other equally senseless act. I feel bad that this woman is never going to be able to get past this and heal until she stops blaming other people.
The fact that the government would even take the time to meet with her is admirable and she needs to take that and move on. Publicly bashing the President is not going to bring her son back and it is not going to end the war.
