I can't begin to understand what hell that mother is going through with coming to terms of the death of her son. Most people don't get involved unless the political becomes personal. During the Vietnam War there were moms who against that war as well. Rudey I think she does accept the fact her son is gone. She doesn't want to remain silent. Let's keep in mind that the 9/11 commission wouldn't have been public if it were not for the actions of the widows from New Jersey who chose not to sit on the sidelines.
If there was a present draft for our armed forces I would think there would be just as many parents, whether or not they are in Congress, trying to get their kids out of serving.
