I won't put words in anybody's mouth but I will tell you that I believe 
freedom is worth putting you life on the line for.  I believe that so 
strongly that I spent 35 years of my life under contract of unlimited 
liability as a member of the Canadian military.  I would still be doing 
that except the government tells me I am too old to do it anymore.

I have instilled that attitude in my children also.  My oldest son is 
also in the military and so is his wife, in fact at present she is 
deployed on Operation Opollo in the Persian Gulf.  Should my son also be 
required to deploy my wife and I would not hesitate to take custody of 
our two grandchildren and raise them if necessary if their parents 
should pay the supreme sacrifice defending the freedom that we hold so dear.

That's what I have done and would do.  You?

BTW standing in the line of fire as a human shield is about the most 
useless act in which anybody could participate in Iraq.  All that would 
do is get you killed without having participated in any useful way in 
the defence of freedom.  It doesn't surprise me that the lefties who 
went to Iraq would not do that, did you really expect people who refuse 
to take up arms to defend their own or anyone else's freedom to actually 
'stand in the line of fire'?
